Water meter reading problem ?

I am a resident of Mayur Vihar-1 at Pocket One for the last over 30 years.  Though our Association has done a lot for the development of our colony. I am facing a small problem which I could see no resolution.

I got my water meter changed   2 years back after the  notice to the residents to get their water meter changed. I thereby got it  installed  in the toilet of my flat which is at 2^nd floor because most of the time water meter get stolen  by the miscreants . In addition to that I and other members of my family remain away during the day time.  The problem arises here that the meter reader do not find it convenient to climb at 2^nd floor  to record the  meter reading and just mark  flat being  locked.  The bills are therefore raised with exorbitant charges at highest consumption basis.

I request the RWAs to take up this issue at appropriate level since it is a common problem being faced by the residents.  I suggest that whenever the meter reader visit the flat and find it locked he should paste a slip with his telephone number at the door of the flat informing his visit. The resident would inform him the meter reading when back home that would lead to get our bills at genuine consumption basis.    Similar process is already in practice adopted by the Indprastha Gas Ltd.

I would thank you to kindly look into it and help us.

Our observations on prima facie unexplained discrepancies of BSES.

Dear RWA Freiends,

We have just sent a long & detailed E Mail to DERC under copy to our CM, stating our observations on the prima facie unexplained discrepancies of BSES. We have requested for an Independent Audit preferably by CAG and till than all the AIDs to Discom's must be stopped. We have also requested for a ROLL BACK of the POWER TARIFF with immediate effect.

With best wishes

Prima-facie unexplained discrepancies of Discom's

Dear Mr. Vohra,

Today is the Republic Day ....... We must start by greeting Happy Republic Day ....... we had formed the republic so that each citizen would work to make India a truly Developed and Independent nation.

The facts you have posted on the Blog have been placed over time by citizen groups over the past three years. Former DERC Chairman Mr. Brijender Singh had taken note of many such facts placed before the commission and he actually recommended reduction of Tariffs by almost 25%. The Delhi Government over ruled him and withheld the Tariff Order.

In August 2011 we the Citizen Groups again put up a spirited fight armed with more facts and figures and were sure that DERC will give a favourable Tariff Order ..... instead DERC increased tariff by 22%. The Government also passed it in a hurry .......

Now the BIG QUESTION ..... when DERC today is questioning DISCOMS ......... 'The Commission has also noticed that there are prima-facie unexplained discrepancies in the information relating to power purchase by both BRPL & BYPL' ..... then what were the facts on which the Tariff was raised.

A few weeks back our group had dug out the Financial Details of PROFITS made by DISCOMS and were duly reported in Nav Bharat Times and placed on this Blog. A few days later the Power Minister Mr. Haroon Yousuf agreed that DISCOMS were indeed in Profits as revealed by our Group and was again reported in NBT.

But the BIGGER QUESTION is that despite all our efforts at DERC Public Hearings and Bijlee Andolan ..... Delhites are very happy paying higher Tariffs. They are willing to hit the streets for a Rs. 50/- increase in Gas Prices but are not willing to protest when the Power bill rises by 22% which adds upto Rs. 250/- per month and more to the family budget.

Lets see what answer DISCOMS give to DERC on 1st Feb ? Will DERC penalize them for furnishing wrong details? Will the Delhi Govt. still side with DISCOMS? ...... and WILL DELHITES STILL NOT PROTEST ...... if not protest then at least join us when we give a call .....

Warm Regards,

Rajiv Kakria
