PRIVATIZATION MAKES SERVICES COSTLY. YOU ARE ADDING A ADDITION PROFIT MAKER IN THE CHAIN BY PRIVATIZATION. ASSETS WORTH MILLIONS IN THE FORM OF LAND, SUBSTATIONS, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LINES AND WELL TRAINED STAFF WAS HANDED OVER TO THE PRIVATE DISCOMS. SOON AFTER COMING, THEY CHANGED THE ELECTRIC METERS, WITH DOUBTFUL ACCURACY, AS BILLS INCREASED AFTER THE INSTALLATION. POWER THEFT CONTINUED, EVEN AFTER PRIVATIZATION, FOR WHICH THE HONEST CONSUMERS LIKE US, WERE PENALIZED. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DUTY OF DISCOMS TO BRING THE POWER THIEFS TO BOOK. BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. PRIVATE DISCOMS FAILED TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVEMENT IN THE DISTRIBUTION/ TRANSMISSION LINES, SWITCHGEAR ETC. ASSOCIATION OF RAWs WERE ASSURED THAT POWER RATES WILL BE REDUCED BY 20%. BUT DISCOMS MANAGED TO POSTPONE IT. IN TURN THEY TOLD THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY THAT THEY ARE LOOSING. THEY MESSED UP WITH ACCOUNTS AND REFUSED TO GET THE AUDIT DONE. THOUGH, DELHI GOVT BEING 50% PARTNER IN THE DISCOMS, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESSENTIAL. THIS CREATES DOUBT ON THE HONESTY OF GOVT. AND GOVT. OFFICIALS HANDLING THE ISSUE. THERE IS SHORTAGE OF ELECTRIC POWER. GOVT. SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE GENERATION CAPACITY. WE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD ALSO MAKE ALL OUT EFFORTS TO MAKE USE OF SOLAR POWER. GUJARAT HAS WORKED WONDERS BY MAKING MAXIMUM USE OF SOLAR POWER. IN THE LONG RUN SOLAR POWER GENERATION CAN BE A COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR INDIVIDUALS AND RAWs SHILA DIXIT GOVT. TRIED TO PRIVATIZE THE WATER DISTRIBUTION BEING DONE IN A PART OF DELHI BY DELHI JAL BOARD. BUT COULD NOT DO IT DUE TO PROTESTS OF SOME ACTIVE RAWS. WATER METERS WITH QUESTIONABLE ACCURACY WERE AGAIN INSTALLED IN SOME AREAS. THERE IS SEVER SHORTAGE OF DRINKING WATER. DELHI IS DEPENDENT ON HARYANA AND UP FOR SUPPLY OF WATER. WATER POLLUTION IS INCREASING DAY BY DAY DUE TO OUR MINOR REEDS. INDUSTRIES MAKE USE OF DRINKING WATER IN A BIG WAY AND DRAIN THE POLLUTED, DEADLY CHEMICALLY LACED WATER BACK IN RIVERS. WE PUT WASTE POOJA MATERIAL IN RIVERS. LAST REMAINS ALSO FIND PLACE IN RIVERS. ALL DRAINS END IN RIVERS. WE ARE ALWAYS FINDING WAYS TO POLLUTE RIVERS AND THEN EXPECT GOVTs TO PROVIDE GOOD CLEAN DRINKING WATER. THERE IS LOTS OF WASTAGE OF DRINKING WATER. WE USE IT FOR GARDENING, CAR WASHING, CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS ETC. EVEN SUB SOIL WATER IS BEING POLLUTED BY THE INDUSTRY. RAWs DOING NOTHING FOR WATER HARVESTING. SUB SOIL WATER LEVEL IS DIPPING. WATER CRISIS LIKE SITUATION IS FAST DEVELOPING. IT SHOULD BE MORAL DUTY OF ALL CITIZENS TO SEE THAT DRINKING WATER REMAINS CLEAN AND REMAINS POLLUTION FREE. more

The First & Utmost Priority should be Supply of 24 x 7 Clean & Pure Drinking Water to all the residents of Delhi / New Delhi at very reasonable / cheap rates which neither the Congress Govt. nor the BJP Govt. could do so far. Had the Shiela Dixit Govt. privatized the Drininking Water or could ensure its availability at reasonable / cheap rates in clean/pure drinking water, nobody could defeat her Govt. even for 15 years more. Though the Electricity was available 24x7 after its privatization, which helped her win the elections even though the Congress in the Central Govt. had acted adversely against the public interest by sealing the shops and establishments in the residential areas through back door and all the small shop-keepers, traders, bread earners were ruined. Hence, supply of 24x7 clean and pure drinking water at reasonable rates should be the first priority, otherwise People will be left with no alternative, but to opt for New Comers Like Arvind Kejriwal. So Water WATER and Water is the need of the hour. more
