Water flows into homes, out of drains

NEW DELHI: Where on one hand the rains have brought much-needed relief after the long Delhi summer, they have also been a major cause for inconvenience for many, as the inefficient drainage and sewer systems of the city resulted in waterlogged streets and houses on Tuesday morning. 

There were reports of flooded houses, overflowing severs and inundated streets from various areas of the city. D P Gulati, a resident of Pitampura, and secretary of the RWA of his area said that a mere two hour's rain got numerous houses flooded. "I have been living for the last 25 years in Pitampura, and this invariably happens every year,'' said Gulati. The open sewer in the nearby area, explained Gulati, overflows with very little rain. "As the sewer isn't constructed properly, it overflows, and sewer water seeps into the houses.'' Like every year, Gulati and his association arranged for pumps and drainage systems to deal with the mess. "We have to struggle every year, why can't there just be a permanent solution to the problem. Flooded houses are a potential health hazard because there is an added risk of getting electrocuted.'' 

According to Monu Chaddha, the president of Jangpura RWA, more than 12 bungalows had to be vacated this morning at the link-road Jangpura extension, as rainwater inundated the area due to poor drainage. "The houses were deserted, the road, which was filled with water, had to be barricaded, and the traffic was diverted,'' said Chaddha. He complained the authorities aren't doing enough. "This area is very close to the Barrapulla elevated road project and everything gets completely stalled after little rain due to ongoing construction work.''

No Power Tariff Hike In Delhi This Year : Dikshit

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Monday said that the power tariff in the national capital will not be hiked in fiscal 2010-11.

'There will be no hike in power tariffs in 2010-11,' the chief minister said.

The Delhi government had May 4 asked power regulator Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) not to reduce tariff in the city. The state government and the power discoms wanted a hike in power rates.

The move had invited ire of the opposition parties which accused the state government of siding with the power distributing companies -- BSES Yamuna, BSES Rajdhani and North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL).

The DERC after going through audit of the power companies had decided to reduce the power tariff by 20 percent, a move opposed by the companies.

When asked about DERC's observation that the discoms did not give correct financial details in their representations to the state government, she said: 'I do not think they lied to us.'

Asked about the government's May 4 direction to DERC, she said: 'The discoms approached us with a representation and so we only asked the power regulator to look into their grievances before finalising the tariff.'

A highly-placed government government source had June 10 told IANS that there will be no hike in tariff of power till the October Commonwealth Games.

Dikshit also holds the power portfolio.

Wheat, rice at low rates

With the Central Government making a special ad hoc allocation of additional quota of wheat and rice for the Capital, Delhi Food and Supplies Minister Haroon Yusuf has said that both these grains would now be provided at very low rates at fair price shops to all ration card holders.

Mr. Yusuf said while wheat would be sold at Rs.9.15 per kg, rice would be made available at Rs.12.55 per kg through the PDS. He said the Delhi Government has taken the initiative to immediately pass on the benefit of the largesse of the Centre to the people.

Stating that these rations would be available to Above Poverty Line card holders too, Mr. Yusuf said the move was aimed at controlling prices and helping the needy. The Minister said each card holder would be provided 14.25 kg of wheat and 3.75 kg of rice at the new rates.

He also announced that all APL stamped card holders would benefit from the scheme. There would be no need to produce income certificates for availing of the scheme.

Bhagidari meeting under SDM Vivek Vihar

Congratuatons SDM VIVEK VIHAR AND STAFF for organising meeting at D C office is an excellent manner and wise decision to allow only ONE PERSON RWA TO SPEAK. Proceedings were tape recorded and hope the pointed out problems. Participants including myself pointed out problems.

Firstly department nodel officers has introdued himself with giving their contact numbers. Action Taken Reports which is received by the SDM (Vivek Vihar) on the minutus of Bhagidari meeting held on 22-03-2010 placed before the Sub-Division Level Bhagidari meeting. Those concerned officers who has not given ATR, D.O. letter will be send to the Chief Minister Office to take action  against them said by the SDM(Vivek Vihar). This is good step taken by the SDM(Vivek Vihar). Shri Ram Avtar Yadav, SHO (P.S. Farsh Bazar) had called a meeting of RWA's, but he has not informed all the cocerned RWA's. He has not called the SDM (Vivek Vihar) also in this meeting. He has appolised before the Bhagidari meetng and said this mistake will not be repeat in the future.
