Date 20 June 2012
Honorable Prime Minister,
Dr. Manmohan Singh, and Copy to
Honorable Chief Minister of Delhi,
Smt. Sheila Dikshit,
New Delhi 110011
Respected Sir,
When there is a Complaint
of Urgent Public Concern – Governor of a
State or Mayor of a County in USA
put up the matter before ‘Public Utility Commission’ and Chair the Public Hearing Proceedings Like A Court and announce the Order on the same day that is
applicable to the state or city.
In the national capital one
may write Hundreds of Complaints over Tens of Year there is even not a Proper
Acknowledgment.
Most shocking at Important
Delhi Government Public Meetings – bunch
of Dullards are invited but none of the Experts – thus there is no Progress.
Super Bugs
Delhi Water Allocation 31 Liter Per Head Per Day
Delhi gets Sewage and Drainage of Haryana essentially
because of ‘Defective Yamuna Water Sharing Agreement’ concluded by Madan Lal Khurana in 1994. Out of 31 Liter Per Day Per Head allocated – even this supply
is not making through Haryana and 50% of Water Treated By DJB is Lost In Pipes.
Delhi Annual
Share 724 MCM But 19 MCM in Summer Months
Here in the Water Sharing
Agreement in the end out of 724 MCM water allocated to Delhi, the national capital just 76 MCM is
available for March-June four months, just over 10% for four Summer Months when
atleast 40% of the allocation was required. Thus 0.63MCM Riparian water is
available for 20 million people per day– 31 liters per capita. Some Ganga and Satlej non riparian water is also available but
is too inadequate.
Almost 40% to 50% of treated water is lost to leakages. 40% to 100%
population get Contaminated ground water, direct or diluted.
Thus Delhi Get Many Thousand Times More Harmful Pathogens in Water
Supply Source That is Contaminated Again After Treatment Mixing With Sewage As
Both Water Mains and Sewage Lines Run Next to Each Other.
Super Pesticides
CSE Reported 600 Times More Pesticides Consumed By Delhi Residents Since 2002 Than in Blood of
Cotton Farmers of Bhatinda
Since 2002 Winter since the
CSE report pointing to very high level of Pesticides in Ground Water that is
Source of Water for Bottled Water Companies Delhi residents had consumed more
than 600 Times More Pesticides than in
Blood of Bhatinda Farmers accumulated over decade. (Page 20 Attached)
Ø
Pesticides in Delhi
Ground Water 0.0757mg/Liter, Max 0.1735 mg/Liter
3500
Days at 2 Liters/day; 7000 Liters = 530mg to 1245mg
Ø
Pesticides Accumulated in life in Blood of Bhatinda
Cotton Farmers
0.1224mg/Liter
to 0.7627mg/Liter at 5 Liters = 0.6120mg to 3.6115mg
40% to 50% Delhi Population Directly Depends on
Contaminated Ground Water in Summer, Rest Get Untreated Tube-well Water Mixed
With Yamuna Water Supply.
Thus 30% to 100% Water Supply To Delhi
Is Sourced From Contaminated Ground Water.
Super Water Bills
DJB Hired Recovery Agents To Extort Consumers
Rs.100/month
Approved Tariff – DJB Charge Rs.1000/- to Rs.10,000/-PM
Sir just a Look at the 2012 Tariff
Applicable as in attached PDF also a Household Should be Charged Rs.100/- per month.

It is admitted fact that in
spite of short supply DJB charges on average 15 kiloliter per month.
Out of that 40% to 50% is
sourced from ground water.
In my farm in Punjab it cost just 3 units of electricity to draw 90
kiloliters of water so allowing for Rs.15 as electricity charges and Rs.15 for
O&M of pumps it cost just 0.30 per kiloliter to pump Contaminated Ground
Water.
So Break Up is 9 Kiloliter
of Treated and then Sewage Mixed Water Supply and 6 kiloliter of Ground
Contaminated Water Supply.
Cost of 9 Kiloliter of
treated water PM is Rs.60.50 + 2.42x9x1.6 = 60.50 + 34.85
= Rs.95.35.
Cost of 6 kiloliters of
Ground Water Per Month at Rs.0.30 = Rs.1.80.
Monthly Household Bill = Rs. 95.35 + Rs. 1.80 = Rs. 97.35 Lets say
Rs.100 per month.
WHEN A FAMILY OF FIVE SHOULD BE CHARGED Rs. 100/ PER MONTH – PER CAPITA
MONTHLY BILLS EXCEED Rs. 1000/- to Rs.3000/-. DJB has hired ‘RECOVERY AGENTS’
To Recover Illegal Bills.
Responses to My Petition Were –
1. Delhi Government had failed to get Renuka, Lakhwar and Vyasi Dams
built to ensure Full Clean Water Supply from Yamuna.
2. Railways Refused to provide Shatabdi Terminal at Safdarjung Station –
some time in recent Past Safdarjung Station was used as Main Terminal all
trains when some maintenance work was on at New Delhi station.
3. Delhi Transport refused to admit there is inadequate Bus Service and
introduce Time Table that indicates Bus Services Operated By DTC.
4. Work on Undesirable Delhi
Metro Extensions was Speeded UP even as reports pointed to Interstate
Lines Taking 75% Passenger Traffic And
For Interstate Traffic Surface Rail Lines Like Mumbai Locals Are 2x Faster and
Cost a third.
5. There was no response to ‘Play Grounds’ for Delhi populations.
6. There was no response to ‘Disneyland in Delhi’ for entertainment of Children of 500
million North Indians.
7. There was no program to lay Under Ground Sewage Lines replacing Open
Sewage Drains.
8. There is no Progress to Ensure
Uninterrupted Power Supply and Regulate
Power Supply to Large 10KW+ Consumers.
9. There is no Farmers
Markets where farmers can sell their
produce ‘Directly’ without middlemen in
spite of Skyrocketing Food Prices.
REMEDY: -
A. PMO and Delhi
Government to Introduce ‘Public Utility Commissions’
B. PMO and Delhi
Government to Engage Professional Experts.
