Yesterday, we crossed the required mark of 100 signatures on the Online Community Petition for the CAG Audit of Discom's with immediate effect. The Online petition will now be sent to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister as well the DERC Chairman on Monday.
Our point was :
PETITION : Almost an year ago, Delhi Govt had ordered a THOROUGH SCRUTINY of the
books of accounts of DISCOM's. Almost six months ago, it had submitted
in the Delhi High Court that CAG AUDIT will be done. We are still
awaiting the good news.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT : Though the Audited Balance Sheets of
DISCOM's exhibit clear profits, still, DERC admits their plea of losses.
As a result, power tariff is
being revised upwards regularly & consumers are forced to pay at
high rates due to monopolistic practices of DISCOM's.
Thanks to all those who joined us in this effort for generating awareness on the issue.
