DJB :
The
CAG says that the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), responsible for the territory's water

(million gallons per day) capacity of sewerage treatment plants, while laying
about 900 km
of sewer line during 2007-12 with an
expenditure of Rs 1,634.18 crore.
“The
DJB had not prepared any perspective plan for sewage management for XIth five
year plan, and could collect and treat
only 367 MGD (54%) out of 680 MGD of sewage generated in Delhi,” the report
said.
Furthermore,
there was a lack of equitable distribution of drinking water within the NCT,
the CAG said, “due to lack of reliable data on population and water supplied to
different areas,” and the absence of comprehensive metering of water meant that
“less than 40% of water produced was
billed during last three years.”
"The
drinking water was not being distributed
equitably amongst the population due to lack of reliable data on population
and water supplied to different areas," it said
HOSPITALS :

New Delhi’s hospitals, “emergency
departments were not providing required services due to lack of essential
equipment, medicines and adequate staff,” the report said, adding that “all
the test checked hospitals were lacking in facility for purified and clean
drinking water.”

a month last year while in Rao Tula Ram Memorial hospital, patients
complained that they had to purchase medicines from outside.
At Ambedkar hospital, the CAG found that 47 essential drugs were not available on many occasions during a period between 2009 and 2012.
More curiously, the CAG said that the 1000-bed Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and LN (Lok Nayak) Hospital, “have been using ambulances, mainly for miscellaneous purposes instead of for the patients”, apart from the fact that these vehicles did not have “essential equipment for basic life support system”.
