Everyoneknows that summer temperatures will be extremely high. I remember that during our childhood days, Vijayawada used to be called as ‘Blazewada’ due to the scorching heat. Ironically nature continues to be peaceful and cheerful irrespective of the season. We must be thankful that nature is giving us free solar power. We should make appropriate use of this bountiful. The government and private authorities must utilise the abundant solar power. With solar powered panels, we can obtain and reap the benefits of an overwhelming power availability that can be used to maximum levels.

Better late than never

Thestate government of Telangana had taken the right forward step by enhancing minimum wages that have remained stagnant for the past 12 years. Indeed, the decision was prompted by the ongoing writ petition filed in the High Court by members belonging to the working class. It is a paradox of civil administration that while government employees are entitled to DA, yearly increments and a hefty pay revision every ten years together with accrual of arrears, the working class in the unorganised and MSME sectors are denied a regular minimum wage revision. Hope this move will usher in better days for the perennially deprived class.
