Officials skip Bhagidari meet, get notice

Officials skip Bhagidari meet, get notice

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi: The government has taken a stern view of municipal officials skipping chief minister Sheila Dikshit’s Bhagidari meet last Sunday. Sources in the three corporations said chief secretary PK Tripathi issued show-cause notices to the commissioner and the deputy commissioner of North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday. 

    “Since senior officials like the commissioner and the additional commissioners didn’t attend the meeting, even the deputy commissioners have been issued notices.
The strict action is a sign of the government’s seriousness in the run-up to next year’s elections,” said a BJP councillor who did not wish to be named. 

    More than 3,500 residents’ welfare associations have been participating in the eight-day event held at from June 26. The meets have been organized to discuss civic problems. “Important issues like sanitation, road repair and parking were discussed in the meeting. The RWA members were asked to point out their local problems and then a form was given to submit complaints in writing. Some officials weren’t pre
sent for the meeting,” said BS Vohra, president, East Delhi RWA Joint Forum. 

    Officials who have been served this notice, however, deny the allegations. “I don’t know why they have issued a show-cause notice against me when I was present. The RWAs’ grievances have been collected in writing and we are resolving them,” said Kuldeep Yadav, Narela zone deputy commissioner, North Delhi Municipal Corporation. 

    However, RWA members said the officials’ participation in the meets has been minimal as the opposition BJP controls all three corporations.

Delhi CM rules out roll-back of power tariff hike

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshiton Friday ruled out any roll-back in the power tariff hike announced on Wednesday. 

Even as protests raged across the city, Dikshit said the tariff hike would not be rolled back. Her latest stand was in sharp contrast to her views on Wednesday when she had hinted that a subsidy for poor consumers was likely. 

Dikshit's refusal on tariff hike roll-back came amidst BJP's city-wide protests and demonstrations. The main opposition party hit the streets to protest the steep hike and demanded immediate roll-back.

अगले वर्ष नहीं बढ़ेगा टैरिफ

पुरुषोत्तम भदौरिया/एसएनबी नई दिल्ली। राजधानी के बिजली उपभोक्ताओं को बिजली दरों की बढ़ोतरी से निजात मिलती नहीं दिखती है। तीन माह बाद फिर फ्यूल सरचार्ज की समीक्षा होगी और बिजली उत्पादन लागत बढ़ती है तो दरें फिर बढ़ेंगी, लेकिन इसके बाद दरों में बढ़ोतरी नहीं होगी। डीईआरसी ने वाषिर्क बिजली दरों और फ्यूल सरचार्ज बढ़ाकर दिल्लीवासियों को झटका दिया है, लेकिन अगले वर्ष बिजली दरें न बढ़ाने का दावा डीईआरसी अध्यक्ष पीडी सुधाकर ने किया है। उन्होंने कहा अगर बिजली उत्पादन लागत नहीं बढ़ी तो बिजली दरों में बढ़ोतरी नहीं होगी। उन्होंने कहा कि प्रति तीन माह में बिजली उत्पादन की समीक्षा की जाती है और इसके बाद ही फ्यूल सरचार्ज में बढ़ोतरी होती है। उन्होंने कहा कि अगले वर्ष एनुअल टैरिफ नहीं बढ़ेगा। गौरतलब है कि अगले वर्ष दिल्ली विधान सभा के चुनाव होने हैं। चुनाव वर्ष में उपभोक्ताओं पर नया भार न पड़े, इसलिए दरों में बढ़ोतरी नहीं की जाएगी। पूर्वी दिल्ली आरडब्ल्यूए के अध्यक्ष बी एस बोहरा ने कहा कि डीईआरसी बिजली वितरण कंपनियों के हाथ का खिलौना हो गई है। उन्होंने कहा कि डीईआरसी आम आदमी को दरकिनार कर बिजली वितरण कंपनियों के हितों की रक्षा कर रही है। उन्होंने कहा कि बिजली वितरण कंपनियों ने जितनी दरों को बढ़ाने की मांग की थी, उससे अधिक बढ़ाकर डीईआरसी ने स्पष्ट कर दिया है कि उसे आम उपभोक्ता की चिंता नहीं है। उन्होंने कहा कि अगले वर्ष विधान सभा चुनाव होने हैं, अत: अगले वर्ष सरकार बिजली दरों में बृद्धि नहीं करेगी, इसलिए इसी वर्ष एक साथ दरें बढ़ा दी हैं। दक्षिण दिल्ली आरडब्ल्यूए के अध्यक्ष पीडी तिवारी ने कहा कि सकार तो बिजली वितरण कंपनियों के हितों की रक्षा कर ही रही है, लेकिन अब डीईआरसी भी उनके हितों की रक्षा में लग गई है। किसी को आम उपभोक्ता की चिंता नहीं है। बिजली की दरें बढ़ने से आम आदमी पर इसका बोझ पड़ेगा और महंगाई बढ़ेगी। उन्होंने कहा कि दरों में वर्ष 2011-12 में 22 प्रतिशत उसके बाद फ्यूल सरचार्ज के नाम पर बढ़ोतरी और अब 24.15 प्रतिशत और 8 प्रतिशत फ्यूल सरचार्ज के नाम पर बढ़ोतरी कर डीईआरसी ने अपनी हकीकत को बता दिया है। उन्होंने कहा कि डीईआरसी के खिलाफ हाईकोर्ट का दरवाजा खटखटाना पड़ेगा। डीईआरसी अध्यक्ष पीडी सुधाकर ने किया दावा

SHOCKING : Power Tariff up by 24% in Delhi

Its really shocking that Power Tariff has been revised upwards by DERC, by 24.15%. Just 11 months ago in August 2011, it was raised by 22%. After that DERC added 5% on the name of Fuel surcharge & later raised it by another 2%. Though the said Fuel surcharge of 7% has been removed, it has added Power Purchase Cost Adjustment surcharge of 8%. Therefore we can say now that since August 2011, Power Tariff is up by 22% + 24% = 46%. In addition, 8% PPCAS of 8% will be charged on the total bill.

Though BJP has promised massive protests from 29th of this month & congress spokesperson Mr Jatinder Kochar has assured that the matter will be raised in the DPCC meeting tomorrow with Mr J P Agarwal, a lolypop of a few percentages can be expected in a day or two.

Delhi power price hiked 24% by DERC

Electricity will cost more in Delhi from July one with power regulator DERC today raising domestic tariff by 24.15 per cent for the year 2012-13. 

The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) Chairman P D Sudhakar said the average hike is 20.87 per cent in all categories and domestic tarrif has been hiked by 24.15 per cent. 

The regulator had in August last year hiked the tariff by 22 per cent hike for all categories of consumers. The tariff was hiked by five per cent in February and by upto two per cent in May this year to adjust the power purchase cost of the distribution companies. 

All the three power distribution companies, BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd, BSES Yamuna Power Ltd and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd have been pushing for a hefty hike citing their "severe" finacial condition.

DJB targets home water purifiers

Delhi Jal Board officials say for every one litre of water purified, at least four to five litres of water is wasted by reverse osmosis water-treatment equipment.

New Delhi: The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has drawn attention to the wastage of water by reverse osmosis (RO) water-treatment equipment, used by lakhs of households.

Though RO, as it is popularly known, provides quality drinking water, its filtration process leads to substantial loss of water, prompting concern among DJB officials who are battling an acute water shortage in Delhi.

The DJB has written to industrial bodies in the Capital, holding its first meeting in this regard on Tuesday with the CII. For every one litre of water purified, at least four - five litres of water goes waste in ROs, DJB officials said.

Why we view others to solve our very basic problems ?

The DJB signed the agreement with Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE), a Singapore government agency to share its development expertise with other countries, and Temasek Foundation, Singapore (TF), a Singaporean philanthropic organisation, to share Singapore's experience in planning and design of recycle and reuse of treated sewage/wastewater and delivery of such projects on a public private partnership (PPP) basis for Delhi.

Is there any comparison between India & Singapore as India is much bigger in Size as well Population ?

INDIA being said to be a Super Power in the coming decades, can't even manage it's sewers & it has to go to Singapore by paying a hefty sum to get the technology.
