POWER TARIFF ?
DERC had asked for Public Hearings a few months ago & a large number of RWAs participated to present the views & opinions. But the outcome was as hinted by CM. The prices were raised by 22%.
After that Montek Singh Ahluwalia explained about the bad conditions of DISCOMs & hinted for another price revision. Now a few days ago CM has again hinted for another power tariff hike and that too, very soon. Earlier NBT had published a news that power tariff will be hiked by another 38% by the end of December. If this increase of Power tariff takes place, it will mean 22 % + 38% = 60 % power Tariff upward.
Just can not understand that when CM has agreed for the CAG Audit, why dont the DISCOMS wait for the CAG Audit Report. The Public has full faith in CAG & the outcome will be significant as it will reveal that Power Tariff is to be increased or decreased and by what percentage.
If our members / viewers / visitors have any thing in mind, may we request them to mail us for uploading on this blog.

The symptoms may be a flu-like illness with sudden onset of fever, chill, headache, tiredness, nausea and vomiting and may occur in one among 250 infected humans. The illness can progress to encephalitis and can be fatal in 30 per cent of the cases if not treated early.

UP: Encephalitis kills 6 more, death toll 438
Gorakhpur: With six more persons succumbing to encephalitis, the death toll in the viral disease in eastern Uttar Pradesh has climbed to 438 this year, health officials said on Friday.
At present, 261 people suffering from encephalitis are undergoing treatment at the BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur besides in some other district hospitals.
The six deaths have been reported in the last two days, the officials said. More than 2600 patients were admitted to government hospitals in the region this year of which 438 have died, they said.
CNN-IBN had reported on the alarming situation last week, following which the UP government had granted Rs 18 crore to build more wards for patients. But it's a paltry sum compared to the over Rs 600 crore spent for the Ambedkar Park in Noida that is being inaugurated on Friday.
Infact UP Chief Minister Mayawati has spent Rs 2500 crore on five such major parks across the state.
The majority of patients are suffering from water-borne entero-virus encephalitis while the cases of Japanese Encephalitis are about 10 per cent of the total encephalitis patients admitted this year to government hospitals.

Japanese Encephalitis ( JE ) cases rise to 12, govt calls meet
NEW DELHI: Delhi government has called an urgent meeting to discuss the steps needed to check the spread of Japanese Encephalitis in the city. The number of cases of the mosquito-borne disease, which was first reported on September 21 from Bawana area in northwest Delhi, has gone up to 12.
Dr R P Vashishtha, state surveillance officer, said six persons tested positive for the disease in hospitals while the rest have been reported at the community level. There was no reason to panic as the JE cases were mild in nature, he said.
"We have launched largescale surveillance in community settings to identify JE cases in areas like Rohini, Shastri Park, Inderpuri, Raghubir Nagar, Mangolpuri and Khichripur. Pigs are the hosts of JE and it spreads through mosquitoes. Civic bodies have been asked to intensify fogging operations to check its spread," said Dr Vashishtha.
He, however, said that all blood samples taken from pigs in the affected areas have tested negative. Health minister A K Walia said he is going to hold a meeting of top health officials in two days. "We will be discussing the preventive steps and ways to identify the source., " he said.
