NMDC Delhi Residents to Pay Same Rate for Power as the Rest
All of Delhi will now pay the same amount for hike in power tariff and residents of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) areas are, predictably, not pleased. Though citizens of the area agree that they don’t suffer from erratic power supply or frequent faults, this sudden steep hike is not justified, they say.
“We pay three times the house tax as people living in other posh colonies in the city. Lower power tariff was the only respite we got. If this also increases, living here is going to become very difficult,” said Pravin Gupta, a resident of Bengali Market, whose monthly electricity bill is around R6,000 per month. The Bengali Market Resident Welfare Association is also planning to protest if this hike comes through.
“We met the NDMC chairperson on Thursday but they said the hike was not finalised. But if it comes through, we will demand a roll back. Why weren’t the RWAs consulted before taking this decision?” said YK Anand, president of the Resident Welfare Association (RWA).
