LPG document submission date extended..... :)

LPG consumers have time till August 20 now to submit documents to avoid disconnection.The food,civil supplies and consumer affairs department has extended its August 15 deadline because of heavy rush.


In its July 21 notification,the department requested beneficiaries whose ration card or LPG connection had been suspended to furnish papers within 15 days from the date of notification.

Consumers were asked to go to the department website or visit the nearest taluk or deputy directors office to submit the documents.

The commissioner for food,civil supplies and consumer affairs said a large number of ration card holders and LPG consumers has submitted the information by now.However,due to a heavy load on the department website and other reasons,many have found it difficult to submit the particulars sought.Therefore,the need to extend the deadline.

Cardholders have been asked to visit their ration shop,check the electricity meter RR number in the computer printout and rectify mistakes if they find any.

Nowadays most of the bangaloreans are busy to submit their electricity bill and LPG documents to keep alive their LPG to enjoy the homely food. Most of us have already submitted the requisites. Still most of waiting to know whether the documents are accepted by the Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs department of Karnataka, and whether their LPG connection will be alive further or not. Let me clarify to all if you submitted the documents, please visit the Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs department site (http://web1.kar.nic.in/fcslpg4/verify_ackno.aspx) and check the status of your submission by entering your acknowledgement number. If you viewed the positive response as you expected then it is party time else do not worry soon you might be receiving a SMS into your mobile form “TD-KA-FCS” which says “Your LPG Consumer Number ( 123456) with ACK  No 123456789 having Elect RR No ABC789456123 has been processed and accepted by food official.

LPG Supplies in Bangalore won’t stop immediately

Scan the documents online, get them corrected quickly to avoid LPG disconnection


 

Secretary to Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department B A Harish Gowda on Wednesday maintained that the department had never told LPG agencies to immediately stop supply of gas cylinders to consumers whose connections have been identified as
suspended.

Speaking to Deccan Herald, Gowda said: “We are practical in this matter. We never told them (distributors) to stop supplying gas to consumers. Chances are that they will take orders and deliver if you order now. It will be a problem for the next supply if the details have not been sorted out by then. But if they are corrected now, then these suspensions will be deleted by then.”

What people need to do

Gowda said that consumers whose connections have been suspended due to errors in entering the details have two options.

One - to submit the scanned documents on the website: www.ahara.kar.nic.in
These documents will be checked on the same day of submission at the Deputy Director’s office.

The other option is to go to the nearest Deputy Director’s office in Bangalore urban and the tashsildar’s office in Bangalore rural and get the documents updated correctly.

“Some of the entries contain mistakes like wrong RR number. Mistakes like these will be rectified immediately in a matter of minutes from Thursday. I suggest people to use this option and get the problems corrected,” Gowda urged.
 
What not to do

People who have to get the entries corrected, have been asked not to go to their distributor.

“They (distributors) cannot do anything. All the entries are modified in our office and sent to them daily. They merely upload the information we send. There is no use of going to them to correct the problem,” Harish Gowda said.

Consumers found having multiple connections will be given an option of keeping the connection they choose. “Our inspectors will go with a list of connections to one household.  They can choose whichever they want to retain,“ Gowda added.

How You Should Start Every Day For The Rest Of Your Life!



 


I’m a great believer of how you start your day will shape the rest of your day.

Start you day well…on a good positive, healthy note..and chances are…you will have a great day. You will feel strong, fit and all ready to take on the world. Well…the morning routine obviously does a world of a good. I got the gist down here, as well as his rationale for the routine. I try to keep at it as much as I can on a daily basis.

Here’s the way he advocates on how to start your day.
1. Set your alarm clock to go off 10 minutes earlier than usual.
2. The first thing, after you get up, is to immediately remake your bed.
3. Go to the kitchen, pour yourself a glass of water and drink it all.
4. Go to the bathroom, take care of "business," brush your teeth, wash the sleep out of your face and eyes and brush and comb your hair.
5. Next, put on some exercise clothes like sweatpants, a sweatshirt and sneakers.
6. Leave the house immediately and take a 20-minute walk.
7. As soon as you get back, woof down a nutritionally-dense protein drink with eight ounces of fat-free milk and a banana.
8. Scarf down a packet of vitamins and minerals like “Revital"
9. Take a shower.
10. Dress in fresh, crisp clothes and go about your day.

Pretty simple stuff, isn’t it? But, I’ll tell you this: If you will do this every day in 2011, it will create a more positive change in your life than anything else you can do. This regiment, although simple on the surface, has profound and somewhat complex and far-reaching psychological ramifications.

May I explain?

Thank you.

1. Set your alarm to go off 10 minutes earlier than usual. By getting a 10-minute earlier start, you tend to remove the "urgency" many of us experience as soon as we wake up. You’ll feel less harried, less hurried and a bit more peaceful.

2. The first thing, after you get up, is to immediately remake your bed. If you don’t do this, you will be starting your day… instantly… creating an "undone chore" which will nag at the back of your mind for the rest of the day. If you do this, you will start the day without having added a single, niggling little thing to your "to do" list.

3. Go to the kitchen, pour yourself a glass of water and drink it all. You do NOT drink enough water. Nobody in America does. Water is the elixir of elixirs. It flushes toxins out of your body, provides an environment which lets your electrolytes and all other aspects of your biochemistry function at maximum efficiency.

4. Go to the bathroom, take care of "business," brush your teeth, wash the sleep out of your face and eyes and brush and comb your hair. You’re getting ready for battle: The battle to have a good day. Doing all the above will wake you up a little, freshen you up a bit and "set-you-up" to get going.

5. Next, put on some exercise clothes like sweatpants, a sweatshirt and sneakers. Make this a ritual. You are dressing for battle: An assault on the forces of negativism.

6. Leave the house immediately and take a 20-minute walk. You’re outside, you’re breathing fresh air, you’re getting your circulation going, you’re becoming more mentally alert. Some of the fog begins to lift from your mind. You begin to notice your environment, see the colors of the fall foliage, the bloom of a spring flower, the dew on the grass on a summer morning, the untrodden snow in mid-winter. NOTE: This is NOT exercise. This is a loosening up; a "defogging" of your mind and allowing your body to gently warm up for its daily tasks.

7. As soon as you get back, woof down a nutritionally-dense protein drink made with eight ounces of fat-free milk and a banana. This will infuse your body with nearly all the vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and other good stuff to help your body and mind function at peak throughout the day.

8. Scarf down a packet of vitamins and minerals like “Revital” More insurance you’re getting the minimum (at least) ingredients your body needs to run efficiently.

9. Take a shower. Part of the ritual of getting ready to battle the day.

10. Dress in fresh, crisp clothes and go about your day. Ritual completed. You’re loosened up, oxygenated, clean, crisp, nourished, starting your day with no added baggage.
