Good morning friends. Different countries has been tackling the climate change which was held in Copenhagen. India’s concerns on non-biding emission cuts met at the Summit.
India's concerns on non-binding emission cuts have been met at the Copenhagen summit though the climate deal does open a window for a new legal treaty that may kill Kyoto Protocol based on the principle of equity, a top government climate expert said on Monday.
Rejecting allegations that India has succumbed to US pressure at the meet, Rajni Ranjan Rashmi, Joint Director, Environment Ministry, maintained that the way talks were going, India was expecting nothing but equity. "And equity has been ensured by limiting temperature level to 2 degree Celsius which has been agreed by all the nations, both developing and developed," Rashmi, who was part of the Indian delegation at the 12-day meet said on Monday.
The official, while admitting that it was not a win-win situation for India since it was a global accord with positives and negatives in it, said "No binding commitments have been imposed upon the developing nations. This has been a major success for India as promised (by the government) in Parliament.
"Also, survival of Kyoto Protocol has been ensured despite persistent attempt by the European Union to junk its mandate of equity but differentiated responsibilities," he said on the outcome of the Summit.
The third major achievement for India was that it managed to avoid global emission cuts of 50 per cent by 2050 as demanded by the US and other developed nations.
"Hence, while the Summit set a commitment to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius, it did not spell out the important global emission targets for 2020 or 2050 that are the key to holding down temperatures," he said. -Yahoo

AMC in dilemma over streetlight energy savers
Good morning friends. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is in dilemma over a streetlight energy savers. It’s good to know that the Municipal is doing all the best they can as many will benefit on it.
A debate has ensued in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on installation of energy savers for over 90,000 streetlights for the city. The choice is between a system that costs Rs 5 lakh and saves 32 per cent electricity and a system that costs Rs 2.75 lakh and saves 44 per cent electricity.
AMC today has to spend more than Rs 1.1 crore of taxpayers' money on electricity bills every month. AMC's standing committee recently awarded a paid pilot project contract to streetlight energy saver that costs Rs 5 lakh a piece and saves anywhere between 28-33 per cent electricity. Each energy saver can efficiently save almost 20 to 80 streetlights of 250 watts and more depending on kilovolt Ampere electricity load.
In March this year, Hyderabad-based Light Matrix Street Lights Private Limited, had installed their energy savers near Kankaria Lake between March 28 and April 14. AMC's streetlight department has certified energy savings of up to 44.21 per cent at a cost of Rs 2.75 lakh. But strangely another company was approached and given a paid pilot project for equipment worth Rs 5 lakh which saved anywhere between 28 per cent initially and scaled up to 32 per cent savings till recently.
The technology is called streetlight automation and energy savings system (SLAES) and has been installed at Victoria Garden, Kankaria Lake, Gomtipur, Satellite, Kuberpur and Meghaninagar. "We are analyzing proposals of both the companies and trying to evaluate the best option. This is a preliminary stage. We will finalize the projects after the Kankaria festival," says a senior assistant city engineer AC Shah.

"The present system installed works on GSM technology and generates SMS reports about the condition of streetlights for mobile phones thus informing engineers about any technical fault. While Light Matrix has a GPRS-based technology of reporting via e-mails and SMSes when computer servers fail," said a senior engineer with the street lights department of AMC.
SLAES equipment generally reduces voltages of streetlights during off-peak hours and maintains required light intensity levels. The electricity load is maintained at threshold levels' which helps increase life of the cables and streetlights and bring down maintenance costs. Each energy saver device is manufactured according to the number of streetlights that need to be monitored. Each system can monitor anywhere between 40 and 90 and above streetlights at a single go. -The times of India

A tribute to the real heroes of Mumbai (1 of 2)
Good morning friends. It’s been a year ago when the Mumbai terror attack was held. Many innocent people were affected. I hope and pray that will not have a second time.
Nov 26, a year ago, India faced one of the most horrific terrorist attacks so fierce, that the whole country was left reeling in shock for days afterwards.
It was the worst nightmare for not only Mumbai, but for the entire country. Terrorists had taken over the entire south Mumbai area, killing 173 people and injuring hundreds.
But amongst the chaos, there emerged stories of great heroism in the face of terror.
It proved that despite attempts by the terrorists to destroy the country, the nobility of humanity would always shine through.As India observes the first year anniversary of the Mumbai attacks, let’s looks back and remembers some of those heroes who sacrificed their lives to save thousands and for being inspiration to all of us:
Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salukar:
The head of Mumbai's anti terrorism squad, Karkare is regarded as a legend in the Mumbai police force, was among the 11 police officials who were killed while fighting terrorists.
54-year-old, Karkare was killed in a shootout with terrorists at the Taj Intercontinental Hotel where terrorists have taken at least 15 people hostage.
Additional commissioner Ashok Kamte and ‘encounter specialist’ Vijay Saluskar were killed in a shootout with terrorists at Metro Cinema.
Following their deaths, all three men were awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award, in recognition of the sacrifices they had made. However, in recent months, controversy has arisen over the deaths of the officers.
Assistant Sub- Inspector Tukaram Omble:
Ex-Army man Tukaram Omble was a casualty of the Mumbai attacks, giving his life to ensure the survival of his men and the capture of the sole, surviving gunman, Ajmal Kasab.
Around 12.30 am, the team manning the roadblock received information that two terrorists had hijacked a private Skoda car and were speeding towards Chowpatty.
Moments later, Omble saw the Skoda coming; he sprang on his motorcycle and went in hot pursuit.
Omble and five other policemen armed with batons rushed towards the door where one of the terrorists - later identified as Abu Ismail - was seated on the front seat.
The other terrorist, Kasab, tried to come out of the car when Omble and his colleagues tried to snatch the AK 47 rifle he was holding. But the terrorist put up a fierce resistance.
Omble caught the barrel of the gun and held on to it with his full strength. Even as the policemen tried to overpower Kasab, the terrorist opened fire.
