Today our blog received a similar mail on the name of a known RWA from the mail ID of that RWA :
Sorry for not informing of my recent trip to London. I had intended to stay for five (5) days,
but for the mishap I had Somegangsters stopped me of my money and my traveling document, that I was left empty. I need to pay for my hotel accommodation and othertraveling expenses, therefore will need candid help by asking for a soft loan of Two Thousandand five hundred Dollar ($ 2500.) to enable me solve the financial burden.

First of all, we expect a clarification about the EXPIRED CYLLINDERS. Much is being said about the expiry date of LPG Gas Cyllinders. Even we uploaded it in our Blog. We found three Expired gas cyllinders in our street. The news was also published in the AMAR UJALA. Please explain us about the EXPIRED CYLLINDERS. If any of these cyllinders are exploaded, and the consumer suffers the loss of life or property, who will be responsible ? How a consumer can prove that the cyllinder was an Expired one after it is exploaded.
NON PICKING OF TELEPHONES :
Secondly, please try any of the gas dealers for the booking of a Gas cyllinder and there is more than 100% possibility that continuously for many hours, it will be engaged or none will pick it up. Why dont these dealers keep more than one working phone. Is there any norms in this regard. In our opinion, these dealers try to avoid phones to skip the booking and to sell it in the grey market.
20 DAYS GAP BETWEEN BOOKING OF SECOND CYLLINDER :
Lastly, The dealers ask for a 20 days gap in between the booking of second cyllinder. As per RTI, the Gas companys have denied about any such gap period. Than why these dealers are still continuing this practice. How long they will harrass the consumers.

Check the link to view the complaints of parents to Directorate of Education regarding Nursery Admissions & the details of action taken by Directorate of Education :
Taken from the comments section of the website : Source : http://www.shemrock.com/blogs/nursery-registration-fee/
Recently, the Directorate of Education passed orders that nursery registration fee should not be more than Rs 25, but there are still many schools in the city that are charging separately for the form and prospectus. This joint fee, when put together is way above the norm which has been set by the DOE. There are a few schools which are giving their prospectus free of cost, but are charging a “processing fee” for the same. The fees charged are anywhere between Rs 200 - Rs 800 for a single school prospectus.
With parents applying in at least 10 schools to ensure that their child bags a seat, admission process this year seems to be a repeat of last year. Parents have actually chartered out a budget just to buy the admission forms. Parents belonging to the lower strata of the society do not have much choices left, just because of the high “processing fees’ charged by the schools. Making a mockery of the DOE’s directives, the admission process has begun in the city and the parents are again dacing to the tune of the schools.
Taking this into consideration, there is a hue and cry in the public and the general opinion is that to prevent this, the directorate should immediately issue a public circular clarifying that the cost of admission form, which should not exceed Rs 25. This cost should include the cost of prospectus, as contemplated in DoE orders.
Also, to urge the Delhi government to “rein in private schools”; the Delhi Abhibhavak Mahasangh will stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar on December 23.

New Delhi, Jan 18 (PTI) State-run telecom operator BSNL today donated Rs 9.95 lakh towards Delhi Governments 'Aap Ki Rasoi' programme under which homeless and poor people are given cooked food.
BSNL General Manager S C Alhuwalia handed over a cheque amounting to Rs 9,95,625 to an official of ISKCON in presence of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
ISKCON has collaborated with the government and set up seven centres in the city to distribute cooked food to the homeless and the poor.
Dikshit appreciated BSNL's help to the 'Aap Ki Rasoi' programme being implemented under Government's Bhagidari initiative.
The money donated by BSNL will be used to run the food centre near Lajpat Nagar. A number of such centres have been closed down for want of financial assistance.
In all, more than a dozen centres are being run under the programme across the city.

I started getting calls from AIRTEL MOBILE that i need to pay unpaid bill of a mobile phone bill.
First i thought, it could be for my broad band connection or IPTV or even land line connection.
Today i received a legal notice from Ranvir Vats & Co Advocate & Legal advisor regarding a mobile connection no 9650 640 303 accout number 102-103496696 to immediately make payment or face action.
then i started ewceiving calls.
My wife got panicky,compelled me to go to AIRTEL MOBILE OUT LET.
We went to Jagat puri near Krishan nagar and checked status.
I asked...show me a copy of my application where i had asked for mobile connection of air tel,place or outlet name and since when this connection was asked and and then activated, verification report.
I am still awaiting reply..but heard that a particular DSA was very welknown for such things but is now closed.
I am waiting for written reply and then i will initiate action.
But i discussed this issue and was told that hundreds of mobile connections had been in existence on stolen or forged papers.
My suggestion...in case of similar situation..do not panick and share information so that proper course could be worked out.
BSES BUSINESS MANAGERS, HQ, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES CELL DO NOT RESPOND TO GRIEVANCES OF CONSUMERS. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS REPRODUCED BELOW FOR INFORMATION TO ALL MEMBERS:
Due to short circuiting on a pole with very healvy load, fire broke out in July 2009 which could not be extinguished by Firemen, policemen, BSES employees. They all joined the residents for hours till the fire got extinguished on its own. This affected closeby power connections including mine. We started getting inflated bills for which repeated complaints were lodged. Parallel meters have been installed on two of the three meters but the problem was in the bus bar (distribution box) before meters. In November, there was short-circuiting in the domestic bus bar which resulted in no-current. The LEDs indicating Earth Leakage were on in two meters. This complaint was attended to and it was found that previously when bus bar was fitted, no thimbals were used and the loosely tied wires caused short-circuiting. After this the LEDs showing earth leakage also were found 'off'. This wrong wiring in the bus bar was the main reason of inflated bills for which Mr. Jha, Business Manager, at Maya Enclave, Mr. Kapoor, DGM and Mr. DP Singh at B-1 Janakpuri No Current Office were met and handed a detailed letter of my complaint narrating the reason of receiving the inflated bills. Today, it is Jan. 18 and this letter was personally delivered on Nov.18, 2009. No reply or action has been found till date. This is the state of affairs at BSES ground level which needs immediate rectification by DERC and Delhi Government.

The games in 2010 will mean additional expenditure and therefore reason for increase in taxation...price rise of essentials like Water,bus travel, and vegetables.
But My concern is...BECAUSE GOVT FAIL TO COLLECT PROPERTY TAX,SALE TAX AND INCOME TAX..etc...should an honest tax payer be burdened.
The thieves are not being caught due to nexus between various groups..administrative,political and business interest group.
It is in the interest of honest TAX PAYER TO CREATE PRESSURE GROUPS and see that dishonest are made to pay.
DEPARTMENTAL AND SECTIONAL HEADS MUST ADOPT A LOCALITY/MARKET and monitor actual and realistic realisation of sales tax, vehicle tax as private cars at most of the taxis stands are sent as taxis.
The social spirited citizens must be associated in such ventures.
Every year Private companies in Delhi expect increase in electricity rates without bothering about poor or middle class. BSES has failed to check theft or to meter energy supplied to street light and govt office including police stations. So,this burden is passed on to consumers. Why should i pay for the stolen electricity? Secondly, compare per kwhr energy billed in any comparable city served by STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD. Before privatisation, the Expenses in supplying electricity per kwh need to be compared with present charges.
Expenses are high because of over head high charges and purchase of equipment at exorbitant prices. We have to firm up our replies and submit before 4th Feb 2010 to DERC.
Kindly comment so that a proper replied could be firmed up.
