Delhi's power regulator favours CAG audit of private discoms

NEW DELHI: Two days after announcing a five per cent hike in power tariff, Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission(DERC) on Sunday said there should be a thorough scrutiny of finances of all three private power distribution companies by Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

Chairman of the city's power regulator P D Sudhakar said scrutiny of the accounts of the discoms by the CAG will help knowing the actual financial position of the private companies.

"There should be a CAG audit of the accounts of all the private power distribution companies. We have already sent a recommendation to the Delhi government for it," DERC chairman P D Sudhakar told PTI.

The BJP and Aam Admi Party (AAP) have been demanding CAG audit of finances of the discoms, alleging huge financial irregularities by them. However, the discoms are strongly opposed to auditing of their accounts by CAG.

"We finalised the tariff structure after examining their financial positions. But still I would recommend a CAG audit as it will be very different from the auditing we carry out," the DERC chairman said.

The BJP has been seeking CAG audit into finances of discoms referring to a DERC proposal in May 2010 to cut the tariff by around 25 per cent citing their healthy financial position. The Delhi Government had restrained the regulator from going ahead with the tariff order.

NGO complains against discom

NEW DELHI An NGO has moved DERC against the discom BSES for distributing pamphlets along with power bills to show that the tariff in Delhi is much less compared to other metros. United Residents Joint Association (URJA) wants action against the discom, claiming that the move was aimed at influencing consumers before tariff determination. It cited a 2010 order by the regulatory body where BRPL and BYPL, both under BSES, were sent show-cause notices for speaking on tariff before it was fixed. 

"Discoms are not allowed to issue pamphlets or make statements on tariff once they have submitted their annual petitions and their scrutiny has begun. Any such move is viewed as an attempt to influence the commission or consumers," said Amit Aggarwal, a senior member of URJA.

How do Radiations from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi Devices harm us?

Radiations from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi devices have non-ionizing & non-thermal effects and carry a constant signal which interferes with the communication system between cells in the body of animals and human beings. This signal is characterized as a warning message, just as if it was exposed to a real threat and potential damage due to toxic chemicals, bacterial attacks, etc. A defense response is triggered at the biological level when subjected to such signals. The body is under a permanent state of red alert in the body, which suppresses the production of the some of the most important repair enzymes and stress proteins. Being subjected to Microwave radiations emitted from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi devices for long periods can exhaust the cell’s defense system, lower the body’s immunity and make it vulnerable to various diseases. with thanks : Envirochips

Power cables burnt like hot coal !

RWABhagidari News : Severe power outages were faced by the residents of F Block in Krishna nagar after the heaviest rains lashed the city. Moisture seeped, somewhere, into the underground power cables or ones connecting the transformer opposite the BSES office. This resulted into the bursting of the Transformer at around 4 am & the live wires connecting various poles burnt like hot coal. There was panic all around & fire brigade was called by the residents. Later the transformer was replaced by BSES but the replacing of burnt wires took much longer. Power was restored in the area by around 8 pm after the outages of upto 20 hours.
