Municipal Valuation Committee Wants 168 Colonies Upgraded

The interim report of the third Municipal Valuation Committee (MVC) has recommended that 168 residential colonies be upgraded, hoping the same will boost the MCD's dwindling property tax collections by more than Rs 100 crore.

The report has recommended the re-categorisation of colonies like Lajpat Nagar-I, Chandni Chowk, Rajouri Garden, Janakpuri, Saket, Sarvapriya Vihar, Model Town etc, keeping in mind the enhanced connectivity to these areas courtesy the Delhi Metro.

As per the report, the highest number of colonies will be upgraded from Category E to D.

If MCD goes ahead with re-categorisation, there will be a major change in the tax slab for upgraded colonies. Areas under the jurisdiction of the MCD are at present divided into categories A to H, depending on the infrastructure facilities. Any colony that has a grading of 89 or more in terms of amenities comes under Category A; Category B has grading be tween 75 and 88. At present, there are 28 category A colonies in Delhi.

Water flows into homes, out of drains

NEW DELHI: Where on one hand the rains have brought much-needed relief after the long Delhi summer, they have also been a major cause for inconvenience for many, as the inefficient drainage and sewer systems of the city resulted in waterlogged streets and houses on Tuesday morning. 

There were reports of flooded houses, overflowing severs and inundated streets from various areas of the city. D P Gulati, a resident of Pitampura, and secretary of the RWA of his area said that a mere two hour's rain got numerous houses flooded. "I have been living for the last 25 years in Pitampura, and this invariably happens every year,'' said Gulati. The open sewer in the nearby area, explained Gulati, overflows with very little rain. "As the sewer isn't constructed properly, it overflows, and sewer water seeps into the houses.'' Like every year, Gulati and his association arranged for pumps and drainage systems to deal with the mess. "We have to struggle every year, why can't there just be a permanent solution to the problem. Flooded houses are a potential health hazard because there is an added risk of getting electrocuted.'' 

According to Monu Chaddha, the president of Jangpura RWA, more than 12 bungalows had to be vacated this morning at the link-road Jangpura extension, as rainwater inundated the area due to poor drainage. "The houses were deserted, the road, which was filled with water, had to be barricaded, and the traffic was diverted,'' said Chaddha. He complained the authorities aren't doing enough. "This area is very close to the Barrapulla elevated road project and everything gets completely stalled after little rain due to ongoing construction work.''

No Power Tariff Hike In Delhi This Year : Dikshit

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Monday said that the power tariff in the national capital will not be hiked in fiscal 2010-11.

'There will be no hike in power tariffs in 2010-11,' the chief minister said.

The Delhi government had May 4 asked power regulator Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) not to reduce tariff in the city. The state government and the power discoms wanted a hike in power rates.

The move had invited ire of the opposition parties which accused the state government of siding with the power distributing companies -- BSES Yamuna, BSES Rajdhani and North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL).

The DERC after going through audit of the power companies had decided to reduce the power tariff by 20 percent, a move opposed by the companies.

When asked about DERC's observation that the discoms did not give correct financial details in their representations to the state government, she said: 'I do not think they lied to us.'

Asked about the government's May 4 direction to DERC, she said: 'The discoms approached us with a representation and so we only asked the power regulator to look into their grievances before finalising the tariff.'

A highly-placed government government source had June 10 told IANS that there will be no hike in tariff of power till the October Commonwealth Games.

Dikshit also holds the power portfolio.
