अब 600 का सिलिंडर, 100 रुपये लीटर पेट्रोल?

जोसफ बर्नाड 

नई दिल्ली।। रसोई गैस, डीजल और केरोसिन के दाम बढ़ने के बाद राजनीतिक पार्टियां इस मुद्दे का राजनीतिक फायदा उठाने में लग गई हैं, मगर महंगाई के दौर का सिलसिला थमने वाला नहीं है। 


ऐसे में आम आदमी को और झटके सहने के लिए तैयार रहना होगा। मार्केट एक्सपर्ट्स का कहना है कि पेट्रोलियम सेक्टर में जिन नीतियों को लेकर सरकार चल रही है, उसके चलते इस साल के अंत तक पेट्रोल 80 से 100 रुपये प्रति लीटर और रसोई गैस सिलिंडर बड़े शहरों में 600 रुपये तक पहुंच सकता है। 


सूत्रों के अनुसार अगले माह तेल कंपनियां पेट्रोल की मूल्य समीक्षा करने जा रही हैं। पेट्रोल को सरकारी नियंत्रण से मुक्त किया जा चुका है। तेल कंपनियां ने हाल ही में पेट्रोल की कीमत में 5 रुपये की बढ़ोतरी की है। इसके बावजूद कंपनियों को अब भी पेट्रोल पर करीब 7 से 8 रुपये का घाटा हो रहा है। 


एक तेल कंपनी के उच्चाधिकारी का कहना है कि सरकारी नियंत्रण से मुक्त होने का मतलब है कि उस प्रॉडक्ट पर सरकार कोई घाटा नहीं सहेगी। कंपनियों को वह प्रॉडक्ट नो प्रॉफिट और नो लॉस पर बेचना होगा। ऐसे में कंपनियों क्यों घाटा उठाएगी? जब भी मूल्य समीक्षा बैठक होगी, स्थिति का आकलन करके उचित फैसला किया जाएगा। 


मार्केट एक्सपर्ट के. के. मदान का कहा है कि मौजूदा समय में पेट्रोल की रिटेल कीमत का आधार 70 से 75 डॉलर प्रति बैरल है। तेल का आयात 100 डॉलर से ज्यादा पर चल रहा है। तेल कंपनियों को अब भी पेट्रोल पर घाटा हो रहा है। जिस तरह से अमेरिका और यूरोपीय देशों की वित्तीय हालत है, उसे देखते हुए तेल का खेल चल रहा है। तेल सस्ता होने का मतलब है कि भारत जैसे एशियाई देशों की आयात मोर्चें पर मजबूती और अर्थव्यवस्था में सुधार। यूरोपीय देश इस बात को बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे। यही कारण है कि तेल की कीमत कभी भी किसी भी स्तर पर पहुंच सकती है। ऐसे में रिटेल कीमतों का बढ़ते रहना तय है।

100th Bhagidari workshop on civic issues concludes in Delhi

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today said her Government has enforced a time-bound service delivery mechanism under Service Level Agreement that will ensure timely delivery of services and in turn people would be spared the hardship of repeatedly visiting government offices. This was stated by the Delhi Chief Minister while addressing the concluding session of the 100th Bhagidari Workshop on civic issues which started on June 28 here at Talkatora Stadium. Speaking on the time-bound service delivery mechanism, she said people will get a response within stipulated period, failing which, the officer responsible for the delay will be fined by the Government. Fourteen services provided by the various departments have been brought under the purview of this mechanism. Further, the mechanism is electronically controlled which will put an end to hardships being faced by the citizens in getting the services being provided by the Government agencies. Ms Dikshit also referred to the Jeevan Centres which have been functioning as a lifeline of Delhi enabling citizens to avail services, get various certificates and make payments of various bills and tickets from a single window close to their place of residence. She added that Delhi is having a world class public transport system with more than 6000 low-floor ordinary and air-conditioned buses. The entire fleet is being provided GPS to ensure regularity and punctuality of buses. The GPS is also being provided in the autos which will overcome reluctant attitude of auto drives and ensure security and safety of passengers. Ms Dikshit also stated that all parking lots, which are being constructed, will be commissioned by this year end. Further, the Government has decided to monitor and ensure that malba should be regularly lifted. She called upon bhagidars to render their active cooperation in planting saplings during this season. Delhi has developed 42 city forests and decided to make 25 per cent of its area as green.

Around 1000 RWAs participated in 100th Bhagidari Workshop which is a milestone in providing an effective citizen - Government partnership. A large number of suggestions were presented by the bhagidars. The suggestions includes time-to-time repair of old water lines, checking of quality of water, immediate action on complaint on water leakage, awareness of wastage of drinking water, better DTC services in rural area, RC to be issued to only those people who have parking space, display of time-table on bus stops, proper maintenance of buses and others.

Delhi HC stays constructions at Mayur Vihar

(UNI) The Delhi High Court today stayed the fresh constructions at Kotla village in Mayur Vihar area and directed the police to ensure that no new work is carried on at the disputed site where the RWA’s allege that the public land is being encroached upon by the land mafia without proper sanctions.

Acting on the plea of the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) through lawyers R K Saini and Sitab Ali Chaudhry last week, who alleged that encroachers and anti-social elements have started encroaching upon the public land at Kotla Village in Mayur Vihar, Vacation Judge, Justice Manmohan Singh directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to inspect the site and submit a report to the court in this regard.

Mr Saini told the court that the land in question is being encroached upon illegally and unauthorised construction is in full swing there and urged the court to ensure the removal of the illegal constructions.

The court, directed DDA to ascertain the claims made by the petitioners and identify the unauthorised constructions so that proper orders for its removal are passed by it.

The court asked DDA to assign a two-member team to visit the site and identify the nature of encroachments so that it becomes easier for court to pass suitable orders. UNI

In Delhi, scam that promises you entry to clubs

& RWAs :

New Delhi: A cheat has been arrested by south Delhi police for allegedly duping people on the pretext of making them members of famous clubs in south Delhi in return for money. The accused reportedly cheated about 50 people to the tune of Rs. 20 lakh.

A senior police official said the accused Vineet Mehra is a resident of Civil Lines in north Delhi. The official said Rajeev Chhabra, who runs a shop in Defence Colony, had filed a complaint against Vineet. Rajeev alleged that the accused had approached him and promised to make him a member of the Defence Colony club as well as the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of Defence Colony if he paid Rs. 40,000.

"On June 28, Vineet met Rajeev and introduced himself as the joint secretary of the club and the RWA. He assured Rajeev to make him a member of the club and the association and demanded Rs. 40000 in return. He said he will come to his shop and collect the money," said the official.

REPLY RECEIVED : Additional Security Deposit Demand note of Load change

In response to our mail as below, we have received this reply from BSES : 

Dear Mr Benjamin,

Plz recall our meeting a few months ago at F Block Krishna nagar BSES Office.

In your above said demand note, you are asking customers to deposit the money by a DEMAND DRAFT. A good number of persons have asked us to request you to change this term so that they could deposit the money by Cash or Cheque too.

Please look into the matter & do the changes so that customers could deposit the money with ease. Looking forward for your earliest reply.

With Best Regards

TATA PHOTON PLUS - my worst experience to surf the net

On 22nd June at 6 pm i purchased Tata Photon Plus, the device for Internet Surfing @ Rs. 1800/-. The brouchure offered maximum speed of  upto 3.1 MBPS at Rs. 950/- per month. In these TWO days, to my shock, the speed actually received was as below and that too after 3 times problem resolution :

It seems to be clear cut CHEATING with the consumers. Toll Free Number1800 266 121 informed me that if you are not satisfied, the device will be taken back by the company. But another executive informed that they will offer an average speed of 256 kbps. which is nowhere written on the brouchure which says speed upto 3.1 MBPS.

If any of our readers feel cheated by TaTa Photon plus, please feel free to contact us for a combined action through CONSUMER COURT.

Our country has no (official) name : Is it India, Bharat or Hindustan? Even the Home Ministry doesn't seem to know, reveals RTI query

IS our country officially called India, Bharat or Hindustan? If you're a little unsure, take heart, for the Home Ministry doesn't know either.

RTI activist Manoranjan Roy realised this when he filed a query with the Union Home Ministry seeking to clear his doubts on the subject and was told that they had 'no information on the subject'.

"In English, the country is called India; it is referred to as Bharat in Hindi and in Urdu as Hindustan.

If our country is called by so many different names, what is its original one? I filed the RTI query to find out exactly that," said Roy.

The reply (copy with MiD DAY), however, shocked Roy and he now plans to move court. "If a commoner changes his name, he has to go through a legal process.

However, here the government doesn't even know the official name of the country. I plan to file a PIL to find out if our country has an official name and a national language," he said.

Payment by draft to BSES !

Dear Sir,

We would like to bring to notice a pertinent issue relating to payment towards 
"additional security deposit demand note of load change" demanded by BSES 
recently only by 'demand draft' or 'cash' only and to be deposited in their 
registered office at Shakti Kiran Bldg. Karkarduma, Delhi-92, within a very 
short period of 10 days from the date of receipt of their notice.

It is surprising that while the BSES are accepting payment of 'electricity 
bills' by cheques or cash, why should they demand 'draft' for payment of 
additional security deposit for load change! Firstly the payment by demand draft 
costs money towards DD commission and the senior citizens cannot go all the way 
to Shakti Kiran Bldg. to make payment for the same, while it is more convenient 
and comfortable to make payment by cheques, as in the case of their normal 
electricity bills and this could be done at the various Jeevan centres or at the 
drop boxes already provided in various Societies' offices! Could you kindly 
intervene in the matter immediately and resolve the issue in the overall 
interest of all, particularly for the benefit of senior citizens residing in 
various colonies.

Awaiting your confirmation and with regards,

TK Balu
Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar
