Dear Shri Pandavji,

 

 

I just came across following news report in today’s Times of India :

 

Power cos defy SC order, refuse to take power lines underground

In this context, I sent following e-mail , a few days back

 

As you will notice, technologies are already under development , which can save the birds, AND also save those power companies Rs 80,000 crore of ( unbudgeted ) expense of laying the power lines underground

 

But this can happen only if,

 

Ø   Supreme Court itself “ directs “  those companies to approach the technology-developers for help

 

Ø   Our PM, Shri Modiji, “ directs “ our Minister for Renewable Power, Shri R K Singhji, to become a party to such dialogue / negotiations

 

If BNHS requests SC and PM , then , I believe  a beginning can be made

 

 

Although, employing “  Bird Diverting / herding Drones “ could be a quicker and cheaper solution , I believe the long-term potential savings of “  Wireless Transmission “ of power ( between towers ) , is simply MIND BOGGLING !

 

No doubt, power cable companies could well see this as a threat to their business but such disruptions are inevitable 1

 

With regards,
