And Amul did it again.....rest to follow

Yeah in just less than three months, Amul has again raised the price of Milk in Delhi. A rupees per kg means atleast  Rs. 150 to 300 per month for a family of 4 to 6 persons. Prices of Arhar were raised a few days ago by the Govt. Prices of electricity is also expected to move up soon. 

Earlier, DOE had dictated that no school can raise the fees of the students without the consent of PTA's. The fees is already up in the schools in one way or other. The school lobby is even against the right to education for 25 % seats for poor students. 

The beds for poor patients in the private hospitals are EMPTY. They do not wish to admit the poor patients even though they agreed to do so while buying the Land at lowest prices from government.

Is there any check on the business houses, who are just in the process of making money. Govt. must check the audited financial statements of these companys to see if they are in Profits or REAL losses.

Just think of the position of a small business man or a private employee. The budgets of all these houses are totally upset.

Delhi To Have Task Force To Check Water-Logging

The Delhi government on Friday formed a high- level task force, led by to keep a check on water-logging.

The task force, led by Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta, would ensure that all drains are cleaned before the onset of monsoon and that there is prop- er machinery available to clear water logging-prone areas in the shortest possible time.

The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by the Delhi chief minister and attended by all stakeholders, including MCD, NDMC, PWD, flood and irrigation department, officers of the revenue department and other related departments, a senior Delhi government offi- cial said.

To check proper cleaning of drains, a team of 27 sub-divi- sional magistrates from nine districts of Delhi will act as third party inspectors. The team will ensure that all 1,550 drains of the city are properly de-silted before the monsoon.

The PWD, MCD and the NDMC also identified water logging-prone points on roads in their jurisdiction and set up pumping stations to clear stag- nated water immediately.

Yes delhites are rich and can pay more for bijli

Yes delhite are rich. CM has correctly said so and this is how every body in MCD, DELHI GOVERNMENT,METRO OR DTC THINKS SO AND HENCE PRICE RISE.As compared to villages or small towns or even comparable cities, being capital of india, employment potential level or the actually employed persons or even income per head is higher.
So is rhe price level and hence higher rate of DEARNESS ALLOWANCE.
This scenerio does not give right to all agencies to raise prices.
The recod of tax collection IS DISMAL.Tax,be it sales tax,property tax we are tax evaders,encourage corruption of allhues.this is all with blessing of public elected or un elected politicians and pliable government and MCD staff and officers.
We do not feel concerned or ashamed that even internationally known limited companies evade rightful dues of MCD ETC.
TOWERS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE PHONE SERVICES ARE MORE WITHOUT APPROVAL than the approved ones. Even in a colony like Maduvan new delhi 110092, MCD has admitted 27 encroachments and MCD IS NOT ACTING BECAUSE OF CLOUT OR FEAR OF OFFICERS OF IAS,POLICE,JUDICIARIES ETC. Even our public passage of madhuvan connecting to NAGRAJ MUNI MARG,serving nirman vihar,preet vihar and madhuvan has been merged by merging it in UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL PREET VIHAR.
What is the solution when all parties are in a race to please corrupt and dishonest. Perhaps there is no solution or there is a solution even if a few are ready to face riducle or any type of harrasment.

Delhiites Are Rich And Can Pay More For Power, Says CM

With electricity tariff revision a hot subject in the capital, chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday said Delhiites are ``rich enough to be able to afford to pay more for power consumption''. The tariff announcement by regulator Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) is due any day now. However, top sources revealed there may not be a tariff hike at all except for higher slabs where people consume over 400 units.

Speculation is rife on whether the power regulator will allow the discoms a hike in consumer tariff, especially with discoms pushing largely for an increase citing higher power purchase costs and increasing financial difficulties. In a city where citizens have seen increased water tariff, hiked bus fares, subsidy withdrawal on LPG cylinders, and increased VAT on a range of items including diesel to mop up additional revenue for the government, discoms insisted that a hike in power tariff was long overdue in Delhi.

A source, however, said: ``There may not be any need for a tariff hike at all. It all depends on numbers. Discoms have been claiming a number of things that have become expensive, but the fact of the matter is that with so many power plants coming up in the city, they will have to buy expensive power only for a few short months which will be trued up and after that they will be surplus. Then discoms will be able to sell more power outside and make more profits.''

Officials added even in April, where Delhi saw power cuts largely due to Grid problems, discoms still made huge profits by selling power outside in the exchange. ``Delhi required peak power only in some durations and for the rest of the day -- by selling outside in the power exchange -- discoms made a net profit of about Rs 93 crore,'' said a senior official. Experts added that there may be a hike only in the higher slabs, so only people who consume more power would be burdened with higher bills. ``This would also help the government push for their cause of energy conservation by providing a deterrent to consumers into using power,'' said officials.

The Moving Tale Of MCD Babus And MNC-Type' Offices

The place where one works from has a direct effect on the performance of the work- er, they say.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) seems to have realised this finally. After oper- ating for years from cubbyholes of government offices with wooden chairs and tables, the civic agency is up for a MNC- style makeover. The transfor- mation will not only be limited to the furniture but will usher in a new work culture, the civic body claims.
 

MCD babus will be using swanky, air-conditioned, aes- thetically designed modular fur- niture with modular worksta- tions once MCD moves to its new headquarters: Civic Centre on Minto Road.

"The modern day furniture will not only enhance the beau- ty of the interiors but will also provide various benefits such as comfort and portability," said a senior MCD official. The budget for this makeover is a whopping Rs 55 crore.

According to the civic agency, Godrej Industries is supplying the new furniture that comes with a five year warranty too. While furnishing work has been completed in 10 floors, it is still being carried out in 15 floors. The civic body hopes to complete the work by the end of next month.

DISCOMS AND THEIR DEBT STOREY

I do not know if above contention is born out of their actual accounting data or is the figment of their fertile imagination.
During written submissions and oral arguments, we have been pointing out their wreckless spendings.I had given examples of DESU IN SEVENTIES AND IN EIGHTIES.
An executive engineer used to maintain around a lac of consumer in transyamuna area and then in 1988 to 1994 an Additional chief engineer or even a superintending engineer was responsible for total area under the jurisdiction of BSES YAMUNA POWER LTD.
Compare it with anual expenditure on staff salaries, their perks and other expenditure and their accountability. In our days, all political big wigs or even small fry used to breath fire over our neck.
In the event of breakdowns, even senior most officers would be personally supervising supply restoration work.
The RWA PARTICIPANTS IN MEETING HELD IN KARKARDOOMA BSES OFFICE AND THEN IN NIRMAN VIHAR COMMUNITY CENTRE RAISED UNCOMFORTABLE ISSUES AND HENCE THOUGH PROCEEDINGS WERE RECORDED LIVE BUT MINUTES NEVER CIRCULATED.
But before DERC they claimed of public interaction and excellent performance to justify price hike.
An ordinary consumer of electricity has no excess money to spare for INCREADE TARRIF.
Any increase SHALL BE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE AND INVITATION TO THEFT.
Kindly do not be a prey to their design.

Arhar price shoots up to Rs 70

The prices of pulses in the Capital have once again gone up significantly.
Mother Dairy and Kendriya Bhandar have decided to increase Arhar dal price from Rs 62 to Rs 70. The decision was taken by the Grain Merchant Association after it got green signal from the Delhi Government on Monday. Sources said that Arhar dal has arrived as bumper crop this year. It has already started arriving in the market. As the Grain Market Association has increased the price, it seems something is fishy.
Earlier, the price of Arhar dal was decreased to Rs 62 from the Rs 66. But again the issue of price hike is likely to create panic among the people as it is going affect their home budget.

In a bid to make sure incidents that led to the death of Shanno and Akriti are not repeated, Delhi Commission For Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) has come out with guidelines, telling schools how to deal with medical emergencies.

As chief minister Sheila Dikshit released report on ``psycho-physical requirement and medical crisis management mechanism in schools'' along with ``guidelines for medical crisis management in schools'', officials said that DCPCR guidelines are aimed at preventing death of children in schools. The report has been prepared by a 15-member committee formed by DCPCR.


The report deals with the wide spectrum of medical emergencies and suggests measures to deal with them in a school. The report details first-aid measures to be undertaken in case of asthma attack and breathing difficulty it reportedly claimed life of Akriti Bhatia, a student of Modern School, Vasant Vihar last year bleeding, choking, burns, drowning, ear and tooth injuries, fractures etc.

The report asks schools to make necessary arrangements to deal with medical emergencies. These include constitution of an emergency response team, either a fulltime doctor or a doctor on call for the school hours, inclusion of safety and accident prevention in regular curriculum, a dispensary on the ground floor of the school building, training of staff and senior students in cardio pulmonary resuscitation and a database of students and their ailments.

Discoms In Debt, Cry Foul

With the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) gearing to announce the new power tariff in the national Capital, the power distribution companies are crying foul as they allege that they have got into debt because of bank borrowings.
According to sources in power department, though the discoms have reduced their losses to 63 per cent in 2002 to under 20 per cent in 2010, they do not have money to purchase power.
"Discoms are running short of money to purchase power from the neighbouring states. They have bank borrowings to the tune of Rs 5,676 crore. New Delhi Power Ltd (NDPL) alone has a debt of Rs 1,400 crore in 2010 financial year. BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) have a debt of Rs 2,627 crore and Rs 1,649 crore respectively in the current year," sources said.
He said that discoms are drawing attention to the fact that since 2002, there has been a whopping increase in the cost of purchasing power.
