Arvind Kejriwal files RTI for details of tariff order

NEW DELHI: Continuing his offensive against Delhi's power tariff, India Against Corruption (IAC) activist Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday filed an RTI plea demanding disclosure of the controversial April-May 2010 draft tariff order. The order had recommended 20% reduction in domestic tariff because Delhi's power distribution companies had made a profit of Rs 3,000 crore.

Kejriwal also sought to know if any DERC members or their families were related to the Tatas or Reliance. Discoms NDPL and BSES are owned by Tata and Reliance respectively. The activist also asked whether it was true that then DERC chairperson and a member had approved the order. He also sought access to all files and related correspondence between DERC and Delhi government between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

In his RTI plea, Kejriwal said, "DERC has mastered the art of dodging RTI applications by asking people to specify file numbers or order numbers. How does DERC expect ordinary people to know specific file numbers? It raises suspicion in minds of people about intentions of DERC. Under RTI Act, it is the duty of DERC to assist people in drafting applications. DERC knows quite well which order are we asking for. We would urge DERC to now provide us a copy of that order.'' Kejriwal has in the last two months attacked Delhi government for scrapping the order asking for a reduction in tariff.
