Good rains at last
10:33 AM Posted by ukmad
From July 2 Belgaum has seen good monsoon showers and from the past two days the intensity has grown much more. On Wednesday, the highest rainfall during the week was recorded in Khanapur taluk (285 mm) followed by Belgaum taluk - 88.2 mm. There was water logging problems in low lying areas like Gandhinagar, Shivaji Nagar etc. The farmers have taken a sigh of relief as surrounding areas have got average rainfall which is good for the crop. They hope to get more rain fall in the coming days. Residents and traders of Hatiwal Galli and Kacheri Galli in the busy Shahpur locality of Belgaum on Wednesday staged “rasta roko” for some time to draw the attention of the Belgaum City Corporation authorities to the problems they are facing owing to slow pace of civic work. According to the residents, corporation workers had dug trenches in the two roads to lay drinking water pipelines three years ago but had not completed the work. The two roads, especially the one in front of Banashankari temple, get flooded during rains, they said. Source: The Hindu

Belgaum petrol costs 50.48 And Diesel 37.14
6:02 PM Posted by ukmad
After the honeymoon period of the UPA government is over here is the first slap on the face of the citizens.
Fuel prices have been increased, petrol by Rs.4 and diesel by Rs.2.
So the new prices are as below:
Petrol – Rs.50.48.
Diesel- Rs. 37.14
The rise in fuel prices will shoot up inflation which is now in negative territory to positive and worst hit will be the common man as with the rise in fuel prices of all commodities tend to increase.
Just before the elections were to be declared on January 28, 2009 fuel prices were reduced, it was a carrot and now is the stick. We all ate the carrot now it’s the turn for stick.
People will again for a couple of days shout at the govt. plan to use less fuel, and after a week all will be as it was.
The rise in price of Diesel will hit industries and business houses now running on diesel generators due to the 8-10 hour power black outs.
The govt. in its budget will also show some more stick as the fiscal deficit is going out of control. The politicians will increase their salary, DA, TA etc which increases the fiscal gap, why can’t the govt. also ask politicians to have a reduced salary & perks, as it was asked by the Air India for its employees recently.
God Bless India!
