MUST VOTE : 4th December : Vote Delhi Vote :
दोस्तो,
पाँच सालों के बाद एक मौका मिलता है, अपनी वोट डाल कर अपनी मनपसंद सरकार को चुनने का. हम यह नही कहते की किस पार्टी को वोट डालो बल्कि हम तो सिर्फ़ इतना चाहते हैं की आप अपने मत का सदुपयोग करो, अपने वोट का पर्योग करो और अपनी मनपसंद सरकार को चुन लो.
क्या आप इस मौके का सदुपयोग नही करोगे ? क्या सारा दिन सिर्फ़ व्यर्थ में खराब कर दोगे और फिर बाद में कलपोगे की यह नही हुआ या वो नही हुआ ?
अभी भी समय है, उठो, जागो, सवेरा होने वाला है, सूरज निकलने वाला है, आप खुद भी वोट डालो और अपने सभी दोस्तों, रिश्तेदारों को भी बोलो कि वोट ज़रूर डालनी है.
आप भी इस देश के ज़िम्मेदार नागरिक हो. हम उम्मीद करते हैं की कल Delhi वाले पिछले सारे रेकॉर्ड तोड़ कर वोट डालने का एक नया कीर्तिमान बनाएँगे.
धन्यवाद

RWAs appeal to the residents of Delhi for a Decisive Mandate :
Plz refer all the Elections related survey reports on
various TV channels & Print media. Most of these are clearly showing the HUNG DELHI ASSEMBLY.
Do you think, we can afford, another Poll after a month,
as even the Political permutations & combinations, seem impossible, due to
reasons known to everyone.
If we want to come out of this upcoming Political Mess, we
must use our brain & not just the heart alone, while casting our valuable
vote.
Therefore, we hereby
appeal to the DELHIITES, to come out on 4th of December, in huge numbers, with
friends & relatives, to cast our most valuable Vote, and BE ASSURED, we will give a DECISIVE MANDATE on 8th of
December.
Thanks

BJP opposes DERC move to initiate process to hike power tariff
Opposing the move by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) to hike power tariff, BJP today said the regulator is working in a doubtful manner.
Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel alleged that the DERC's move was in collusion with the power discoms.
He said there was no need for an increase as BJP was convinced that power tariff in Delhi can easily be slashed by 30 per cent.
"The DERC is working in a doubtful manner to hike power tariff in Delhi. The consultants have been appointed and advertisement has been given for the purpose. The BJP strongly condemns this attempt to hike power tariff. The party is committed to reduction of power tariff by 30 per cent, if elected," Goel said.
He said BJP has been raising the issue of transparency in tariff setting by DERC and also process of tariff determination.
"The fact that the consultants appointed by the DERC were also either statutory auditors or were working for one or the other discoms, it constitutes a breach of trust on the part of the DERC. There is clear conflict of interests on part of the consultants," Goel said.
Questioning the move, he said that DERC seems to be in a hurry to hike tariff while the election was around the corner.
"Whatever policy decision was to be taken regarding revision of power tariff should be taken by the new government. But, the DERC's action reflects collusion between the regulator, which seems to be acting at the behest of the Congress government and the private discoms," Goel said.
The BJP had raised the issue in March, when he along with Member of State Advisory Committee of DERC Anil Sood and other experts met the DERC Chairman.
The DERC Chairman then admitted that the regulator committed mistake in the appointment of the consultants and assured the delegation to rectify the mistake soon, he said, adding but, the advertisement released by the DERC on November 28 and appearing in newspapers shows a totally casual and careless attitude of the DERC.
"On the one hand the discoms were likely to submit the Aggregate Revenue Requirements (ARR) and on the other, it is extending the date for submission of Request for Proposal by the Consultants. This means the DERC was not at all ready to review the ARR and undertake the exercise of True-Up," he said.

Strange but True !
No tap water for 25% of Delhiites
NEW DELHI: As Delhi heads for polls, some key issues are agitating the common voter although these may not be felt as much by the city's well-heeled sections. One such issue is water. According to Census 2011, about a quarter of the city's 1.67 crore population does not get treated piped water. That's about 42 lakh people dependent on water tankers, hand pumps, tubewells etc.
Delhi Jal Board (DJB) produces 818 million gallons per day (mgd) of water while the demand is 1,025 mgd. That's a shortfall of more than 20%.
Delhiites who do get water supply are only slightly better off. In most colonies, the supply lasts for 2-3 hours. In summers, it gets worse. According to a survey done by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) last year, out of 111 resident welfare associations that responded to queries, 64 received less than two hours water supply in summer and 59 felt that water was unfit for drinking.
For the past 20 years, Congress and BJP have run the state government and the municipal corporations between them. Yet, they have been unable to deliver this basic entitlement to the people.
A deal was signed in 1994 to deliver water Delhi from three dams to be built in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. After 19 years, the dams are yet to be built. Two of them, Kishau and Renuka, have not even got clearances.
DJB has water treatment plants at six places with a combined capacity of 690 mgd. The CAGfound that at Chandrawal, pumps and flow meters were not working properly, the pond was silted with mud and waste water was leaking all over from 57-year-old sluices and gates. The pumps that push the treated water out were connected to pipes with smaller than optimal diameters, making the pumps less efficient.
Delhi has a very imbalanced and unjust water distribution set up. The CAG report points out that the whole water delivery system is mismanaged, inefficient and weighted in favour of some areas. For instance, the water treatment plant at Nangloi produces 40 mgd for a population of 23.47 lakh. That works out to about 77 litres per day per person.
However, the supply ranged from 3.36 litres per capita per day (lpcd) for 2.5 lakh people in Daulatpur to 225 lpcd for 1.9 lakh people living in Nangloi, according to the CAG report. Some areas in Vikaspuri get just 42 lpcd while others get more than 212 lpcd.
While DJB itself supplies about 128 mgd of groundwater through its network, the population left out of its network depends mostly on groundwater. This has led to a serious crisis of quality. According to the Central Ground Water Board's quality checks, parts of several districts have high nitrate, chloride, fluoride and salinity.
In 2009, 400 million cubic metres (mcm) of groundwater was being drawn out every year while availability was 290 mcm. Twenty blocks spread across the city were 'over-exploited' and five were semi-critical. Water table is falling at the rate of 40 to 100 cm per year.
So, not only is safe water unavailable to a large section of Delhiites, the future looks bleak too. Population is expected to grow while supply cannot keep pace, and groundwater is fast disappearing.
