Sheila's Delhi is sinking, says CAG report
Delhi is going to have assembly elections this year and Dikshit is aiming for record fourth term. However, the report was not a good birthday gift for the Delhi chief minister. Sheila Dikshit turned 75 years on March 31.
The CAG report for the year ended March 2012 was tabled in the Delhi assembly yesterday and it is an indictment of Delhi government's departments and public utilities.
Not one department has been spared - healthcare, transport, power, water and sewage and Dikshit's favourite infrastructure projects - have all been either mismanaged or missed the target. The report also documents loss of revenue to the tune of Rs 2700 crore.
It
says,
due
to
under-assessment
and
faulty
permission
of
exemption
and
other
irregularities
has
resulted
in
revenue
shortfall
of
nearly
Rs.2,310.14
crore.
The
department
responsible
for
such
a
mess
is
the
trade
and
taxes
department.
Supporting
the
contention
of
Kejriwal
the
CAG
report
says
the
Delhi
Transco
Limited
(DTL),
a
Delhi
government
company
in-charge
of
power,
has
not
been
able
to
recover
an
amount
of
Rs
754.83
crore
as
transmission
charge
from
BSES
Rajdhani
Power
Ltd
(BRPL
)
and
BSES
Yamuna
Power
Ltd
(BYPL).
The audit report found DTL to have extended a rebate of Rs 6.81 crore to power distribution companies on wheeling power (transmission costs) which was not allowed by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC).
The CAG also found BRPL and BYPL to be irregular in their payments of wheeling charges from October 2010 onwards. An amount of Rs.754.83 crore was pending for recovery from them as on December 15, 2012.
On water, it says that 28.4 percent in national capital do not getting piped water. Even where there is supply, the Delhi Jal Board has lost Rs 3,950 crore because of short billing.
