Dear Mr. Vohra ji,
I fully endorse the views and share the anguish of the residents of the Priyadarshini Vihar mouthed by their Genl. Secretary! The Govt. machinery has become immune to everything and unless and until the DJB is privatized, like the BSES, things are not expected to improve at all. Incidentally, I may also inform you that whatever difficulties being faced by us which we had expressed time and again and brought to notice of officials at the highest level, things have not improved. We may bring to your notice once again and through you to the notice of all others that the DJB say is levying Rs.2/- water charges for consumption of 1 Kltr., we are paying in addition Rs.1/20 as 'sewerage charges; Rs.50/- as 'service charges' Rs.0.02 as 'pollution charges' constituting an increase of 32.98% at the lowest slab while there were no such charges like 'sewerage charges' etc. at the base level! If we consume say, 100 Kltrs. of water, the percentage increase works out to 168.12% over the then existing charges, made effective from 1.1.2010 - all accepted by us coolly and without any protest! This is the height of our action/inaction on such a sensitive and an essential item for our living!! DJB is only interested in increasing their revenues with no commensurate service to consumers/clients! This is the 'unique service' being rendered by them!
As the General Secretary rightly points out that unless and until we universally and unitedly raise our voice nothing will happen. Why not the East Front takes up such 'serious matters' with the highest authorities concerned and get relief to its members?
With best regards,
TK Balu
Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar
