Power Cut!

Despite the state facing an acute shortage our politicians are still shying away from bold decisions that are needed to counter it. Like the previous leaders, Chief Minister Kumaraswami and Deputy Chief Minister Yeddiruppa also have not done anything tosolve this problem.
They are not denying power shortage however. They admit that the need of the state is 140 million units per day against the current production of 115 million units. Buying power from our neighbouring states at Rs 250 crore per month is deemed too costly an option which leaves with just one option – the tried and tested load shedding. But this could be an even bitter option as it might cost them popularity especially among the farmers. And the local body elections are round the corner. Hence rather than an attempt to solve the problem, escapism seems to be the mantra. At least till the elections are over.

Kaafila: a unique tale Ammtoge Mann's film Kaafila or caravan of people is a touching, heart-rending story of the lunatic rush of not-so-wealthy Third World people opting to leave their motherland in search of utopian dreams of a better life abroad in developed countries. These people put their jobs, families and even lives at stake to reach their desired destination even when they can be better off in their own country without all the hardship and suffering. The movie strives to create a mass awareness of the "dark side of illegal immigration. The film explores uncharted waters for the first time ever," says Mann.
