1) Food products for daily consumptions eg Onions, Potatoes, vegetables, pulses, atta, rice etc
2) Hike in POWER TARIFFS continuously.Why is this there when the balance sheets are fudged .Why we cannot wait till CAG reports as was done in UP a much bigger State

Similar will be the case here that is why the DISCOMS are not agreeing and take cover under the Courts?
4) Railway fare and freight hike of 14%+ and 6.5% will all reflect in the full band spectrum of PRICE hikes.Again the DISCOMS will hide under this garb and pester the Govt and twist its arms for a TARIFF hike and DERC would go ahed
5) Had requested your kind offices to make DERC independent of the Govt so that they could function and report directly to you.You have so many representations from Political Parties,Peer Groups and DERC it self etc.So why are you not taking a decision on the same ???
6)E-Rickshaw ban the populist move of the Transport Minister for votes has again killed the supplies of ENERGY as they would steal ,katiay on street lights and will burden the genuine consumers with this subsidization.As well throw there used batteries all over DELHI and creat another hazardous catastrophe in times to come as no Policy of e waste and its dispersal as in USA/Europe etc.
7) Election expenses when never they would happen in Delhi have written on the same and this would again hike PRICE.
8) The proposed hike in LPG will again lead to a Price spiral and a tornado in hikes killing most and thus compel all to go the Iraqi way
6) The Metro fare hikes etc
7) The hikes form the Rail Budgets
8) The hikes from the Budgets
9) Govt trying to pass the Gas price at US$ at 6.5US$ when the World Prices is US$2 to 2.25
10) Jal Board coming with a hike again.
Am amazed .Again a Tornado of Price hike.
Sir what is in your hands kindly attend the same and provide the Delhi citizens some respites your honor.
Best Regards
B.B.Tewari
