Power generation, distribution, breaks and shutdowns
Power shuts down due to heavy snow; storms forcing tree falls on wires and in case of vehicle accidents which hit transmission wire poles. Power suppliers immediately rush to restore as soon as possible; because:
Longer power-break can damage the food in freezers and fridges; claims have been paid for such damages in the United States
Seniors suffer who need air-conditioning for health reasons
Critical cases in hospital surgical theater suffer
Robbers take advantage of the dark
Organizations, individuals and students suffer
Airliner activities suffer
Gas stations suffer
Mills suffer
Suppliers do have sense of responsibility.
Suppliers do have plans to act in case of such failures.
PAKISTAN:
People continue to suffer from these power shutdowns for a long time and ministry of power have not fulfilled their promise for restoration. They must have done efforts but results have not shown up this success.
It comes to my mind:
1. Do they continue ordering and receiving fuel for power generation? Who pays them and where they store; it must be multiplying!
2. Do they keep three-shifts staff and pay them; why for idle time?
3. If they are private power suppliers; Does government reimburse them.
4. Long time before some one wrote a poem: Oh WAPDA dear, I always fear; Friges hot, Kettles cold ….. etc.
5. In the past I had seen transferring power from another feeder to the feeder in need.
In the past, I suggested to divide power load in having industrial estates to arrange their own power plants and let the government take care of residents; schools, commerce and students. Masha Allah our country has persons (I means gents and ladies) who can arrange power generation plants and sell power to the users.
If our government sincerely takes step forward to redress sufferings, Allah will sure help them!
MANGLA DAM (Pakistan)
When Mangla Dam was under construction, the contractor suggested to have a cofferdam built way back from the main, so that silt should settle down there and barged out, instead of silting at the mouth of the dam where water falls to propel generators; which was so deep that taking out silt would not be possible and the storage area will continue reducing.
TARBELA DAM (Pakistan)
Design was faulty. When river was diverted it hit hardest at the tunnels gates and broke nuts and bolts, steel sheets, steel rods and erosion. Water sank in the river bed near tunnels – several sink holes of several feet deep and long and wide were to be filled in by sand filled bags thrown in from water surface. Water discharge was more after the tunnels then it measure through the tunnels. Water gushed out taking trees, animals and small hill sides. It was said “there was a faulty rock under that area. Thanks Allah human loss foreseen did not happen.
THAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (Pakistan)
There was lot of salt below and on the surface.That was used for laundry and water taps gave very heavy salty-water; during bath soap would jam in the hairs. That situation also gave birth to poisonous snakes.
It was heard a Major from Pakistan Army investigated and found that a large size rock was under that area which did not let water go down. It raised water level and pushed salts above the surface which made it barren.
WARSAK DAM (Pakistan)
At the very onset it was opposed by saying the city will sink down about one inch each year. Until now this has not happened.
KALABAGH DAM (Pakistan)
Lot of work had been done on this site during the construction of Tarbela Dam and lot of money was spent. All along construction has been opposed. This could be a large water reservoir and generate power. Allah know when it be come into being. When we have lot of water in monsoon; same time extra water is pushed into our system to create dangerous floods. In case of need, in dry, water is held back. It this Kalabagh reservoir was there we could save water for future use which we need water in dry time.
SMALL DAMS ORGANIZATION (Pakistan)
There is a Small Dam Organization in Pakistan. They must have done lot of work. Such organization could/should build small dams along side the river flow from itS origin to provide self-sufficient electricity and water to areas lying on both sides of river.
Power Generation from garbage (Pakistan)
In the era of General (r) Parvez Musharraf it was heard a contract was given for power generation from garbage and people started getting training for its management. What happened to it?
Solar Energy (Pakistan)
Decades before Punjab University students installed a large dish which attracted solar energy and they demonstrated grilling kabob with that heat. They could develop it into window panels. They needed encouragement and investment for this development. They were encouraged to do so or not, at least I am not aware of. It not, we missed a chance here also.

Purpose, obligation and our performance in life!
Performing Prayer looks like an excellent act done by us. But Allah/God details a series of obligations expected of us. This is taken from Sura (Chapter) Baqra from the Holy Quran
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to:
1. believe in Allah and
2. the Last Day, and
3. the Angels, and
4. the Book, and
5. the Messengers;
6. to spend of your substance, out of love for Him,
a. for your kin, for orphans,
b. for the needy,
c. for the wayfarer,
d. for those who ask, and
e. for the ransom of slaves;
f. to be steadfast in prayer, and
g. practice regular charity;
h. to fulfill the contracts which ye have made;
i. and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all period of panic;
j. adversity, and throughout all periods of panic.
Such are the people of truth, the Allah fearing.”
(Righteousness=An act in accord with divine law/excellent/right/justifiable}
As I understand we should and we are expected to judge whether we are missing some step from J. to the top 1. In our busy life we miss some good-ones. To please Allah we should seek Allah’s forgiveness for our faults and His guidance and help to correct our missing and wrongdoings. Aameen.
Dear reader: your suggestions are welcome!
