TARRIF AND DERC

With kind encouragement of our president sh.bs vohra ji, i got the chance to speak in hearing of oral submission regarding tarrif enhancement claimed by discoms in delhi. I made the following points :

LAST YEAR on the basis of data and arguments by rwas, DERC WAS CONVINCED that there is ground for decrease in tarrif and not enhancement demanded by discoms. THIS ORDER WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED BY CM DELHI. POINT IS Whether DERC IS A STATUROY BODY OR TO MAKE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS. WHY CM DID NOT TAKE PUBLIC INTO CONFIDENCE IN OUTRIGHT REJECTING ORDERS OF DERC.

SECOND POINT WAS COST ESCALATION and theft of energy. WHO IS PAYING FOR THEFT? Surely, honest customers are now being made to pay for the pilfered energy. Prior to privitatisation and in desu days, DESU WAS NOT ALLOWED TO INCREASE TARIFF DUE TO SEVERAL  CONSIDERATIONS. SO WAS THE STATUS OF OTHER STATE ELECTRICITY BOARDS IN INDIA.

THE so called losses running in several crores were waived off by government.But now the honest  consumers are made to pay by way of enhanced tarrif. For the sake of brevity, i am closing this mail. But rest assure , our government of the day is hand in glove with discoms, and our cries shall fall on deaf ears.
