#MumbaiPowerFailure
👉I will do an objective analysis of power failure
👉Politically inclined people should stay away from the thread
👉First point: completely ruling out Chinese cyber attack.
Cyber attack is when a healthy system trips w/o any fault due to relay sabotage
👉Today power failure happened due to physical fault on lines. They were real fault
👉Out of 4 incoming lines to Kalwa substation of MSETCL one was in breakdown from 2 days, second line was in scheduled outage for replacement of worn out hardware.
👉When 2 lines were out 3rd line tripped on fault, complete load shifted on 4th. It was beyond its technical limit, it tripped
👉With its tripping 2 imp substation 400KV Kharghar n 400KV Kalwa went in dark
👉Due to it other than Thane district 360MW of Mumbai out of total of 2600 MW got affected
👉Maharashtra n Mumbai grid r separate. During normal times for reliability both work jointly
👉During grid problem in Maharashtra, Mumbai grid islands itself n work in isolation thro its
own dedicated generation (hydro + thermal)
👉Govt should investigate why Mumbai grid didn't island itself safely n whole Mumbai went in dark
👉Data of Tata power will be interesting. There statement in haste blaming MSETCL was quite a surprise
👉Still it comes under technical failure of switching unit
👉2nd point is line tripping which initiated the problem
👉The most vulnerable area is MMR region. In last couple of yrs lot of incidence of Thane, Kalyan, Dombivli n other urban areas going in dark due to congestion in
existing power network
👉MMR region has grown beyond their capacity. Capacity addition of substation n lines to cater to additional load have stuck up in land acquisition problem from yrs
👉100 cr, 200 cr substations r ready but incoming/outgoing lines
incomplete due to various factors like forest, private land, inter ministerial issues
👉On one hand capital stuck up due to incomplete, other hand due to it unit charge going up
👉Exiting network being 40 yrs old it requires regular maintenance
👉Network being overloaded, outages r rare n taken with due risk factor in mind
👉If outages n frequent replacement of worn out parts not carried out the restoration time during occurrences will span over days unlike few hours today
👉Politicians blaming each other today should sit n compile a list of how many substations, lines remaining incomplete because of different land issues
👉Isn't it collector, commissioner, secretary, minister, CS, CM responsibility to sort out land n other issues which r hampering
work
👉The only CM who sat with power sector engineer n completely turned around the situation was Narendra Modi
👉If every CM, leader understand how power sector in Gujarat overcome obstacles of land issues it will immensely hep their system
👉Lack of redundancy due to incomplete projects is the real reason for todays power failure
👉Rest is just mudslinging till the next failure happens
👉Last point: the unnecessary outrage created by politicians n others will result in fear in officers
👉Authorities will hesitate to take risk in doing work, sanctioning outage resulting in eventual deterioration of system
👉What happened in defence acquisition after bofors scam is well known, same policy paralysis after 2G scam
👉Technical issues should be solved by technical people n not by making someone spacegoat to silence hyper public
👉Leaders should encourage technical brains n offer their help in resolving issues suggested by them
👉Thanks for reading 🙏🙏

👉Lot of missile n other defence system testing being done this days
👉Lot of talk about these tests hastened by Chinese aggression, some thanking Chinese for it, forgetting all r in various stage of development n will not enter service till next yr end
👉Do people think Modi is a knee jerk PM n he dared to take on China w/o proper preparation for full scale war
👉From day1 Modi knew about the threat from China
👉He launched China specific diplomacy, first to counter string of pearls n then to befriend all those threatened by it
👉Simultaneously long pending border roads works, strategic roads, communication issues were fast tracked
👉Hundreds of km of road, important bridges connecting strategic locations, advanced landing ground (ALG) were sanctioned n commissioned fastening the deployment process
SFF force was a secret unit n would have remined secret had GOI wished.
It was a deliberate leak from GOI.
For too long the struggle in Tibet was peaceful with China paying no heed 2 their demand.
SFF presence n full of Tibetan soldiers will cheer up the freedom fighters back
home.
One important point was the 29-30 August action was based on human intelligence, maybe from Tibetans.
Now not only HI but even sabotage will increase in Tibet.
China simply can't patrol n keep eye on 1200 km highways( 03 no).
Unmasking SFF n thereby fueling internal rebellion in Tibet is a clear cut message to China that we hv increased the escalatory ladder n go to any extent.
China knew India is not alone in this decision, lets see how the maniac responds.
#economy Myself has predicted multiple times very tough economic period till May 21.
Yesterday had conversation with a crane owner having 12 cranes.
Asked him about the business atmosphere.
To my utter shock he said from last 2 months he n other crane owners never were so
busy, overloaded in life.
He further said all industries r running to peak capacity n there is tremendous pressure to dispatch goods.
One thing we both observed was shortage of raw material.
Is this sign of economy picking up or just making up for the shortfall of last 4 months
only time will tell.
Another point to be noted is this is a pharma, automobile cluster which will anyway outperform in this period.
Major concern of purchasing power eradication due to prolonged LD n no sign of recovery from 3 biggest job provider textiles/tourism/gems n jewelry
Christians gave worst treatment in Goa by enforcing Inquisition.
Hindu temples were demolished, no permission to built new temples or even repair.
Banned hindu festivals, no Hindu priest could enter Goa to officiate weddings, no Hindu could held any public office,
In legal matters Hindu witness carried no value, only Christian witness mattered.
All Sanskrit, Konkani, Marathi, Arabic books were seized n burnt.
No Hindu image could be displayed, even Tulsi plant, Peepal trees were uprooted from Goa.
The Inquisition in Goa was requested by Francis Xavier in letter to Portuguese King.
Inquisition was the original idea of Pope 3.
The details of Inquisition gory n so much torture n pain inflicted on Hindus.
Any Hindu who appreciates Portuguese culture n Francis Xavier is
