CM bats for privatisation of water services

Moving towards partial privatisation, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on Wednesday concluded a two-day Jal Bhagidari workshop held to create awareness about the revamping of the water supply, transmission and distribution network under the Nangloi Water Treatment Plant.

The water utility has also come out with a booklet to sensitise all stakeholders on the functioning of the public-private partnership model, which will be implemented in four project areas on a pilot basis. The areas include Malviya Nagar, Vasant Vihar and Nangloi underground reservoirs and water treatment plant, and Mehrauli.

Making a case of her government hoping to provide better utility services at no extra cost, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who addressed the concluding session of the workshop, said: “DJB has taken steps to provide 24x7 water supply in the project areas. Public-private participation in the project is not total privatisation as the DJB will continue to be the owner of all assets and the responsibility for providing water services will remain with DJB. The payment to the private operator will be independent of consumer tariff. Tariffs in the pilot project will continue to be same as that in the rest of Delhi.”

Power demand in Delhi reaches 4823 MW,outages in several areas

NEW DELHI: The blazing heat today pushed the power demand in the city to season's highest of 4,823 mega watt, resulting in massive load-shedding at several areas due to demand-supply gap and local faults in the transmission network. 

"The maximum power demand was recorded at 4,823 MW against yesterday's 4,688 MW," a power department official said. 

The previous highest power demand was recorded on May 22 when it had touched 4,717 MW. The power demand in the city had reached an all-time high of 5,028 MW last summer and it is projected to reach 5,500 MW this year. 

With mercury soaring 43.1 degree Celsius, the highest of the season, the outages ranging from one to four hours made life miserable for people across the city. Areas in East and West Delhi were most affected by the outages.
