DELHI Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Tuesday said that the Centre and the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) are impeding the 'One-Time Settlement Scheme'.
-
He said that no action had been taken against the officers responsible and despite repeated instructions; the scheme has not been presented before the Cabinet as the BJP's interference is exacerbating the plight of nearly 11 lakh Delhi Jal Board's consumers in the city.
Bharadwaj said that approximately 40 per cent of consumers of Delhi Jal Board (DJB) are distressed by DJB's inflated bills. This is a significantly large number for any institution. More than 10 lakh consumers amongst the total of 26 lakh, are saying that their bills are not right, and the bills have not been generated as per their consumption.
