A meeting of various RWAs with Chief Minister Mrs.Shiela Dikshit was held at Delhi Secretariat, today i.e. Saturday, the 17th Sept 2011. A Good number of Ministers, MLAs as well DJB persons were present in the meeting. A good number of RWAs from almost every zone were present there.
CM informed in the very begining that the Power issue was over as Govt had agreed for CAG Audit of Power Firms & therefore, issues related to DJB were asked from RWAs.
Mr Pankaj Agarwal, welcomed all & informed to CM & house that there is very heavy resentment amongst the RWAs & residents due to power & water tariff hikes.
RWAs raised the issue of DJB's orders on revision of water rates, as it was not consumer friendly & tariff needed to be rolled back. RWAs raised the issue of 60% Sewer charge & 10% hike on water bills every year as it was not acceptable. RWAs raised the issue of over flowing of Sewers in various areas & not being looked after. RWAs raised the issue of Mechanical Vehicals for cleaning the sewer which is not adequate & asked for two vehicles per Ward. RWAs raised the issue of Faulty Meters & DJB officials in meeting confirmed that even ISI meters get defective in no time of their installation. Meters changing should be the responsibility of DJB.
Mr B S Vohra, President, East Delhi RWAs Joint Front ( A federation of RWAs of Delhi East), raised the issue of heavy water logging in Krishna nagar, Lal quarter, Geeta colony areas. Mr Sandeep Kapoor asked for the small vehicals with mechanical devices for cleaning the sewers for the area to control water logging. Mr K K Ghei asked about the faulty sewer system in Madhuban & adjoining areas. Many RWA representatives raised the local issues related to DJB & Sewers.
It was informed by Mr Ramesh Negi that now onwards the meters will be changed by DJB.
