Letter to Hon'ble LG - Sh Najeeb Jung ji for the immediate CAG Audit of Delhi Jal Board

2^nd  July, 2014

Sh. Najeeb Jung ji,
Lt. Governor,

Delhi

Sub : No Audit of DJB's Accounts : 2008 - 09 onwards : RTI reply.

Dear Sir,

While the Activists & RWAs of Delhi are continuously asking for the CAG Audit of DISCOMs, an RTI reply from DELHI JAL BOARD has shocked us. The RTI reply clearly shows that no  regular Audit / CAG Audit is being done there, even though it is a body of Govt. of NCT of Delhi. The RTI reply clearly means that its accounting transactions have not been vouched since last six years atleast. It’s Assets & Liabilities have not been verified & it’s internal controls have not been studied.

Surprisingly, HOW the Tariff of DJB can automatically be hiked by 10% every year, while, we don’t have any Audited Financial statements to check the quantum of revenue it collected & how the money was spent on various sources. We don’t have any Audit reports to check even its profitability as well any discrepancies.

 
The RTI reply clearly states that, Accounts from 2008-09 onwards are yet to be Audited. It means that Accounts for the year 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 are yet to be audited. It clearly raises a BIG DOUBT over the functioning of DJB.

Therefore, we hereby request the Hon’ble LG of Delhi to order 1. immediate CAG Audit of Delhi Jal Board 2. Roll back the Water Tariff hiked for the last six years and 3. DJB to make a refund of the excess collections made in the last 6 years, as a relief to the consumers.

We are expecting an earliest reply from you as well a bit of your valued time to meet you to discuss the issue.

Thanks,

B S Vohra
