Madam

During the previous two SAC Meetings it was minuted and  recorded that before issuing Staff Paper, the same shall be reviewed by the SAC Members so that the Consumers are made aware of various issues that need their response.

However, I find that instead of the  the Staff papers you have issued the Executive Summary that conceals the major part of the ARR i.e Demand of True Up - that too provisional based on the Orders passed by the Commission in the past.

Therefore, it is a case of material non disclosure by the Commission and hence it is requested that the Commission must publish the facts of ARR Petitions demanding True up and the relevant part of the Orders in the past immediately on the web site as common consumer cannot be expected to go through voluminous petitions and find out the relevant paras.

In this back ground in view of incomplete Executive Summary  uploaded by the Commission, definitely not by an over sight  because in Column 12 of the Table at Para 1.45 of ES of BRPL you have not disclosed the carrying cost of Regulatory Asset, you are requested to extend the time for filing response.

Regards

To reduce rates, Govt. looks at cutting down on surplus power !

Pleased to note that Govt is looking to cut down the surplus power in order to reduce power tariff. We had raised this issue almost 2 years ago when DERC had refused to comment on our RTI but had admitted that it was being taken as a suggestion. Later we again raised the issue at the DERC Public hearing & we were told that the issue is being considered. 

It clearly shows that our efforts were in the right direction. It was the main reason for the Revenue Gap being created by DISCOMs by selling power to outsiders at much lower prices. By cutting down the surplus power, losses will come down significantly.

Best regards,

Its just pollution in Delhi & nothing to survive !

Obama visited Delhi just for 3 days and its being said that his life has been shortened by 6 hours. Whats about those who are born & brought up in this very city ? Can you please calculate that how many years we have lost till date, due to the pollution ? 

Its true that the vehicular emissions have ruined our city & those who are born n brought up in Delhi may be the worst sufferers. But is there anyone to impose a check on the money making, revenue generating sales of new vehicles ? 

We get the most polluted air, dirty drinking water, vegetables grown in the stinky water & duly dipped in chemicals, duplicate medicines & many hospitals ready to cut the neck n throat, once a patient is in.

Awaiting your most valued comments if you are still breathing in this city & wanna say something.

What can be more shocking than this for Delhiites ?????

All forms of chewable tobacco banned in Delhi

Beginning Monday, sale, purchase, storage and manufacturing of all forms of chewable tobacco including guktha and pan masala containing tobacco is banned in the national capital.

Delhi Government has decided to run campaigns on a large scale to educate the masses about the ban and harmful effect of chewable tobacco.

The AAP government has issued a notification banning all products of chewable tobacco in all forms.

“We have put a ban on purchase, sale, manufacturing and even storage of all forms of chewable tobacco from today in city. To implement the ban, several teams of Delhi Police, MCD, Food Adulteration will conduct surprise raids,” Health Minister Satyendra Jain said.

However, no such ban will be enforced on cigarettes in the capital.

Mr. Jain said that over 10,000 people die of Oral Cancer caused by tobacco every year and in the interest of public health, government will not allow the sale, purchase and storage of gutka, pan masala, scented tobacco, kharra and similar products containing tobacco.

“The ban on such products will continue for next one year and thereafter, government will extend the ban every year owing to public interest,” he also said.

According to officials of Health Department, various citizens’ monitoring committees will be formed in every constituency to educate the masses.

“We will appeal to people to inform us if they get to see sale of any tobacco product in their area. We will take strict action against the violators. In the citizen’s monitoring committees, RWAs will also be included so that ban would be effectively implemented,” said a senior government official.

Health Department officials said that there was a Delhi government notification in September 2012 which was in pursuance of series of directions from the Supreme Court to ban gutkha in New Delhi.

Water Meters- Govt Violates the Law

Dear Sir/Madam

We draw your attention towards lapses by successive State Govt. since 2009 on an issue of prime importance in public utility domain where the law meant to provide a public guarantee on measurements of public utility has been violated by the government

Despite the fact the nearly 40 Lakh meters each are operational both in the domain of the DJB and BSES-NDPL an act of parliament meant to provide guarantees to the consumer are being violated by  successive state governments.

Successive Governments in Delhi have been acting in persistent violation of the Legal Metrology Act 2009 and the rules therein notified for implementation in 2011. As per the Act both the Water and energy meters are to be included in the legal provisions regarding weights & measures and manufacturers subject to penal provisions in the legal metrology act in case of faulty meters.

We have written to the government, including the Chief Minister requesting them to implement this, but have so far received no response.

The Delhi Govt has no laboratories to undertake large scale testing of mechanical or AMR meters and manufacturers of faulty meters (water & electricity) can go scot free as the penal provisions in the act can be evaded since the state government has not implemented the same by bringing the water and electricity meters under the ambit of weights & measures protocol thereby depriving the residents of Delhi of the public guarantee provided in the Act by the Parliament.

This is for your information

URJA has written to both the State and Central Govt on this and will pursue it.

Message from EDMC !

गंदी दिल्ली, घमासान, आम आदमी परेशान !

राजनीति का खेल देखिए की जिन लोगो ने आपको भारी मॅनडेट दे कर दिल्ली असेंब्ली तक पहुँचाया, उन्ही दिल्ली वालों को आप अस्पताल पहुँचाने का बंदोबस्त कर रहे हैं. सारी दिल्ली आज एक कूड़े के ढेर में तदबील हो गई है. हर चौक, हर गली, हर मोहल्ले में कूड़े के अंबार लगे हुए हैं. बदबू के मारे लोगों का जीना दुश्वार हो रहा है लेकिन शायद आप को अपने ही झगड़ों से फ़ुर्सत नही है. आख़िर यह सब कब तक चलेगा ? जब आप दिल्ली की सरकार संभालने का दम भरते हैं तो मोदी जी की सरकार से काम निकलवाना भी आपकी ज़िम्मेदारी है और अपने झगड़ों के कारण आप दिल्ली वालों को कूड़े में नही भेज सकते. AAP & BJP, अभी भी संभाल जाइए वरना दिल्ली की RWA खुद सड़कों पे उतार कर आप सब का चक्का जाम कर देंगी.
