==================
I am D Sanyal, R/o St. No.4/88 A-! (3rd Flor.), Krishna Nagar, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi 110 029.
I
received a water bill, for the period from 01.12.2012 to 24.03.2013 for
a total amount of Rs.22,390/- for a family of 4 with roof top
gardening (flower pots), which might consume 10 ltrs/day
Out of this, the total water consumption charges are Rs. 13346/-
Sewerage Maintenance charge (60%) Rs. 8007/-
& Service
charge Rs. 2032/-
Water cess extra
The following queries were made by me to DJB, for shich no reply has come so far.
1.
The sewerage maintenance is not done regularly as a matter of routine,
it is only done as and when we report of contaminated water.
2 Even in the above case, we have to shell out money to make phone calls to DJB
3.
When the contaminated water flows through the DJB pipe, and sometimes
it goes un noticed and a 500 ltrs. tank is filled before we notice.
Hence we spend on unwanted water and electricity to pump the same.
4. What is the service DJB
is providing apart from supplying water, that too not to the standard.
The addition I would like to add, that if everything is alright with
DJB, then why do people go for bottled water. Is there a nexus between
DJB and the Water Bottling units.
The top most objection is, that
when the sewer is not cleaned regularly, why the monthly charges and
why should one pay for contaminated water.
I shall be happy if these points are raised in the joint forum.

D SANYAL
==================
The
inflated bill received from the Delhi Jal Board have disturbed the
peace of mind of the retired and senior citizens all over the
Union territory of Delhi. We should find out the ways to mend the ways
of the working of DJB , who is bent upon in thrusting heavy bills on the
residents specially the good paymasters. In fact these bills are
causing mental agony, harassment and have shattered the budget of the
poor pensioners. It is observed that CM Sheila Dikshsit
has fulfilled her view point to upgrade the price of water at par with
Bisleri waters. Now it is an election year we all should consider
seriously about the past dictatorial behavior of the Delhi Govt.and also
the failure of the weak opposition, who failed to take up serious
cases affecting the citizens of Delhi. I am giving below the
comparative statement of the DJB charges right from 1996 till today for
all of you to assess the highhandedness on the part of the Delhi Govt.
Year Reading Charges
1996-1997 405 Rs. 206
2000-01 279 Rs. 431
2003-04 412 Rs. 941
2002-03 332 934
2006-07 386 2933
2007-08 318 2261
2011-12 188 1585
2012-13 284 6525
As we are aware the senior citizens population is around 20%. we should rise to the occasion
in raising our voice against the Delhi Govt in deliberatly ignoring our
problems and adding fuel to the hike in prices.

==================
I,
am 86 year old person, living alone with my wife 80 years in B3A/58—A,
Janakpuri, New Delhi. Our water meter connection No. is J-6049. This meter is stopped for decades and the
bill was raised on average @ 7 K.L. per month upto January 2011. From March 2011 the consumption rate was
increased to 8 K.L. per month arbitrarily. Surprisingly the consumption was
raised to 20 K.L. per month from March, 2012.
We
have no servant, no conveyance and no reason to waste water. The rise in
average consumption is not understood. Your Zone is not prepared to listen. The
defective meter is to be replaced by Department and not me.
You
are requested to direct the Zonal Revenue Officer, Janakpuri to amend the
bills, wrongly raised. We always pay in advance.
We
are eagerly awaiting your reply.

==================
There is a great resentment amongst all the residents of Delhi regarding DJB attitude of charging for sewerage and service tax so heavily and collecting money for funding their own political aspirations for the sake of capturing their verdict in the coming elections by be-fooling the citizens. They remained silent for 5 years and continued burdening the citizens and now offering them lollipop of joining in their side.
Every time the Govt. is regularizing unauthorised colonies, but no body has heard for any punishment for the person who is responsible for creating these colonies. What a pity? We all should rise to the occasion to set right the political system in the interest of citizens only and not for the benefit of the politicians.
