Families residing near the Hindustan Petroleum gas godown in Mahendra Hills are literally living on a tinder box.The godown stocks over 1,000 gas cylinders at any given time and the workers are often careless and callous.
The other day, local residents were shocked to see them burning a huge fire near the cylinders apparently to melt tar.If something untoward happens, there is enough fuel in the godown to blow up the entire area.There is no fire fighting equipment in the godown except for two small fire extinguishers.
“Last month, we woke up one morning to a pungent smell coming out of the gas godown,” said Ms Shalini Saincher, a resident of Mahendra Hills.“We contacted the manager, who came and found that there was a problem with one of thecylinders.”Residents also complain that the loading and unloading of the gas cylinders causes much noise pollution in the area.
“We have been doing this business for more than half a century and if houses have come up alongside, we cannot be held responsible,” said an HP official. “We follow all safety measures as stipulated by HP.”Mr Mohan Reddy, assistant district fire officer, said his department would inspect the godown and take action if the owner was found to be violating the Fire Act.

Installing the CNG kit in place of Petrol?
What are you planning to do? Installing the CNG kit in place of Petrol. Just check about the availability of CNG bunks in your area and then proceed. There are very less CNG bunks to cater to thousands of CNG borne vehicles in the city which is major cause of problem for the city people .The long queue outside CNG bunks in the city is daily routine for the vehicle users.
“I regret on the day when I have converted my car into CNG. Initially I thought it’s a good idea and it’s going to help me in all ways but I was very wrong. I don’t know why the government is keeping quiet on this topic why are they not opening more CNG bunks in the city for easy accessible of CNG gas. Every alternate day I have to stand in queue at least for an hour and on Sundays it has been never less than two hours standing in queue. I can’t again convert my vehicle into diesel from CNG will cost me more plus it’s not good for life of my vehicle.” says, Navneet Goyal, Goyal Trading Company.
“It’s a regular problem for us there are very less CNG bunks in the city and standing in a queue for more than an hour is irritating. Before implementing a rule government should lay the infrastructure. Some of the bunks are equipped with just one tank. We have to stand in a queue, until the tank is refilled. Bunks should have atleast two tanks” says Harish Patel, Shri Vishwakarma Timber Deepo.
“I converted my Esteem into CNG from diesel last three months back but this month again I have to convert my vehicle into Diesel just because of the long queue in CNG bunks. There are very less number of CNG bunks in the city and due to that I used to stand for more than a hour every alternate day to fill tank and I used to get late for my office. Now I am planning to buy a new car but not atleast CNG fitted cars” says Saurabh lahoti, Director Shrinath Rotopack pvt ltd.
“Now a day almost all the cars are coming up with CNG fitted. Since 2007 number of CNG fitted cars have been going on increasing but there’s no increase in number of CNG bunks in the city. I usually travel to Vijaywada side there are lots of CNG bunks over there I don’t what our state government is doing why are they not opening CNG bunks in the city. Every Sunday I need to stand in queue not less than 2 hours to fill CNG gas in my vehicle government would have first laid the infrastructure and then would have implemented the CNG kit plan.” Says Sanjay, student, Amity University.
“Earlier many customers use to convert their vehicles into CNG but now there are many people who come to convert their CNG fitted vehicle into Diesel or Petrol. The major problem for that is less number of CNG bunks in the city. Many people do their vehicle gas conversion in just a span of two or three months which is not good for their vehicle but they do that because of the CNG bunks problem in the city.” Says, Mohammed Safi, Perfect Motors, SSV Car Gas Conversion.
“Due to area problems and safety norms by government there are very less CNG bunks in the city. Present bunks are the earlier ones but to open a new bunk we need an open space area which is not easily possible due to development programs in the city. At present the CNG pipeline is only till Vijay Wada and some areas of Hyderabad. Reliance is planning to open more pipelines and then we can have sufficient number of CNG bunks in the city says”, Prabhakar Reddy, President AP petroleum Dealers Association.

Hacking on High!!!!!!!!!!
Hacking into an email account is becoming a common practice in city especially among the kids. With young kids becoming Internet savvy in the rapidly emerging world of computer technology, misuse of Internet has also taken an upward curve. One such misuse of technology is hacking the email ids. There are many such kids who learn hacking and do it for fun sake without knowing the harm of that.
They are unaware of the implications of their illegal activities or unconcerned about the consequences of their actions. The hacking tools used by them can be easily found or downloaded from the Internet. Most of the time they do hacking just for fun and craze for learning new technologies to compete their friends.
“You can easily hack any email id especially Yahoo messenger, Gmail, Rediffmail and all other famous sites. It doesn’t need any special classes or more of your time to learn hacking. I hacked one of my friend’s ids through software given by him. You just need to download the software and you got to create a fake website. Follow the steps and your work is over. I was very keen to learn hacking as one of my ID was hacked by my friend and I was furious to learn the process of hacking to take a revenge on my freind,”says Shruthi, Naryana Concept School.
“For me it was very easy to learn hacking. I was just going through my orkut profile and I found a link of hacking Email Ids in one of my friend’s profile. So I tried it and I was succeeded. I just did it once and it was a fun to learn hacking in just few minutes. I had tried it three to four times on one of my friends id to prank on him,” says, Anish, DRS School.
“A friend of mine found out about the hacking process by way of a family member. Initially I was afraid but later on my friend said there’s nothing to lose in learning the process so lets just try it and if it works its a bumper! I had tried it thrice and there has only been one incident that it didn't work for us and that was because the person had some sort of protection installed on all of their passwords. We usually keep competion among our friends to see who can hack ids faster than else, says Ankita, Krishnaveni School.
As parents, we're far less savvy than our kids when it comes to the Internet and electronic gadgets. It's almost impossible for us to know if our kids are doing homework, harmlessly socializing, being victimized or victimizing others. We want to believe the best about our kids, but maybe we need to make more of an effort to see what's going on.

By Anubha K. Singh
Hyderabad, March 28: College students disappointed over Election Commission’s apathy. In the forthcoming elections, a lot of students will be destitute of their right to vote as their voter I cards had so far not issued by the Election Commission.
Many students have applied to online registration of voter I cards plus filled up the forms but so far not received the card. Now students are planning to approach to the EC to get their voter cards before the elections.
"With an excitement to vote for the first time and bring a change in the state by voting for the correct person more than 1200 students from my college submitted the forms but unfortunately we have not yet received our voter id card" said, Chandra Mohan, Student from CVR college of Engineering.
"Many of us applied online plus filled up the forms to get a voter id card but so far we have not received our cards. Now we all are planning to complain the Election Commission on this regard so that we can get our id cards before elections. There are more than 1000 students in my college who applied for the voter id cards but unfortunately there names are not even there in the enrolment list " said, Ankita Kumari, Student of Aurora PG College.
"I have been a resident of Hyderabad since many years. I have submitted my details by representatives. My details and photos were taken last 3 months back. I have not yet received my voter id card yet" said, Anil Reddy, student.
