NGO complains against discom


NEW DELHI An NGO has moved DERC against the discom BSES for distributing pamphlets along with power bills to show that the tariff in Delhi is much less compared to other metros. United Residents Joint Association (URJA) wants action against the discom, claiming that the move was aimed at influencing consumers before tariff determination. It cited a 2010 order by the regulatory body where BRPL and BYPL, both under BSES, were sent show-cause notices for speaking on tariff before it was fixed. 


"Discoms are not allowed to issue pamphlets or make statements on tariff once they have submitted their annual petitions and their scrutiny has begun. Any such move is viewed as an attempt to influence the commission or consumers," said Amit Aggarwal, a senior member of URJA.
