Shimla HOT and without water
Shimla today recorded the hottest day of this summer at 26.6°C, while the maximum temperature at Una town surged to 40.8°C following another sunny day, the Met office said.
The maximum temperature in the state capital rose by a few notches to 26.6°C as against 26°C recorded yesterday.
The Met office said the day temperature at Una town surged to 40.8°C, which was the hottest place in the state during the last 24 hours, as compared to 40°C recorded yesterday.
The day temperature at Sundernagar rose to 37.1°C by 32.9°C at Bhuntar, 21°C at Kalpa in Kinnuar and 32.6°C at Dharamsala in Kangra district. Mandi town was also hot at 37.4°C, the Met office added.
The night temperature at Shimla town rose by more than a degree to stand at 15.7°C, 14.3°C at Sundernagar, 9.8°C at Bhuntar, 4°C at Kalpa and 19.5°C at Dharamsala.
The minimum temperature at Mandi rose by a few notches to stand at 15.5°C, while Una town recorded a night temperature at 14.5°C.
The Met office has forecast rain and thundershowers at isolated places in the state during the next 24 hours.
The acute drinking water shortage and the failure of the door-to-door garbage collection scheme dominated the proceedings of the monthly meeting of the local Municipal Corporation (MC) today.
The councillors demanded that residents should be provided adequate drinking water at least on alternate days. Expressing concern over the acute water scarcity in the capital most of the councillors demanded that concrete steps must be taken to provide relief to the people.
In an important decision, the MC today decided that the task of garbage collection from homes would now be entrusted to five NGOs rather than one agency. They are Green carpet, Pragti Sudhar Sabha, CDC, Himalayan Enviro Care and Navchetna.
At present it is Green Carpet and CDC that are taking care of the garbage collection scheme. However, large portions of the capital are still not covered by the scheme leading to filth and improper disposal of garbage. Each of these organisations will now be given four to five wards for collecting garbage.
