Tariff hike process to start from April

NEW DELHI: Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission will start from April the procedure of determining the second change in consumer tariff due to fuel cost. With the first 5% hike in power tariff because of fuel price adjustment (FPA) due to expire in April-end, DERC has asked the discoms to submit their audited accounts for power purchased from February to April to decide FPA for the next quarter beginning May 1. 

The first FPA was granted to discoms BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna and BSES Tata Delhi to help them recover costs of power purchase from October to December. This was the first time FPA was granted and now for the second quarter, DERC will once again review the increase in power purchase costs borne by the power companies as per fuel prices in the international market and allow them to recover these costs from consumers on a quarterly basis. 

"We expect discoms to submit their claims by mid-April and the new formula can start from May 1 to July 31," said a DERC official.

Clean water is luxury item for the poor

Some 26 per cent Delhi’s slums residents drink contaminated water, says a survey conducted by civil rights group Save the Children ahead of the World Water Day on Thursday.  

 

The survey was conducted across 60 slums in the six districts of Delhi by attaining water samples from 2,50,000 residents. Different drinking water outlets, including Delhi Jal Board pipelines, water tankers, submersible pumps and hand pumps, were tested for biological contamination. 

The tests were conducted using a standard water testing technique based on H2S strips which detects bacteria such as salmonella and citrobacter. 

In south Delhi, 39 per cent of tested drinking water samples showed contamination.
Almost 80 per cent in Okhla were found to be contaminated. In Sanjay colony, a 20-year-old slum which is home to at least 3,500 families, showed positive results for biological contamination (human and animal faeces as contaminants). 

In east Delhi, 32 per cent showed contamination, whereas in north and west Delhi, the rate was recorded at 12.3 per cent and 48 per cent in north-west Delhi.Though tests were confined largely to slums, a few water sources were randomly tested in planned localities as well.
