Cong hints at Goel-discoms nexus
New Delhi, June 27 Condemning Goel's statement that it would take at least two years to totally end power cuts, and if proper supply had to be ensured, it was imperative to hike the tariff, Yusuf said that BJP was trying to run away from its promises made to the people of Delhi. The statement by the minister was delivered to help the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission hike the tariff, said Mukesh Sharma, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) spokesperson. The DERC recently held a public hearing to invite suggestions on the tariff and would take a decision on the hike only after evaluating its interaction with the public. The party also questioned the silence of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in the matter. Pointing finger at his collusion too, Sharma asked as to why the BJP and AAP leaders did not attend the DERC's public hearing this time. "The manner in which the Power Minister was championing the cause of the power companies for hiking the tariff showed that the companies were in league with the BJP leaders, and the silence of Kejriwal in this matter indicates that he has also struck deals with the companies," he said. "During the Congress rule in Delhi, people were getting 24-hour power supply," Yusuf
added. |

Two-month-old mauled to death by stray dog
New Delhi, June 27 The infant, Shagun, was attacked at about 8.30 pm on Thursday when she was sleeping in a room on the third floor of the building at Amarpuri in Nabi Karim. "I went downstairs to switch on the water motor and buy vegetables. While returning, I told a girl of the neighbouring house to look after my daughter while I would wash the clothes," Shagun's mother Renu said. The girl, Seetu, climbed up the stairs of the house as Renu followed. Renu said that they were confronted by the dog, which allegedly attacked Seetu and her. Seetu was bitten on her back while Renu stayed safe by shooing the dog away. The young girl then rushed into the room and immediately came out shouting that Shagun had been ripped apart by the dog. The baby's head was torn and her ears were missing. The dog had allegedly attacked her face and injured her eyes. The face was unrecognizable as its parts had been eaten by the dog. Shagun was rushed to hospital where she was declared dead. Meanwhile, hearing the mother cry, locals gathered outside the house. The dog then allegedly bit a 32-year-old man downstairs who was headed for Namaaz. "The dog was chased down to an open area, surrounded by scores of people who thrashed it with sticks and killed it. The dead dog was later retrieved by the police from the garbage," said Rajesh Pandey, an MCD official who was on the spot. |

DJB to promote rainwater harvesting
New Delhi, June 27 The initiative is being carried out by the DJB to educate the residents on the importance of saving water and using it judiciously. The advertisements will carry 'Jal Dost'as DJB's mascot, which will talk about ways to conserve water. "This will help in reaching out the maximum number of people in the city. The campaign has been carefully planned around those bus routes where the groundwater levels are very low," said a senior DJB official. The DTC buses cover a thick web of routes in the city, therefore, it is expected that the advertisements would directly communicate the messages with the primary target audience, which is the daily commuter, the official said. The advertisements majorly run in south, south-west, and west Delhi since the groundwater level in all these areas is extremely low and under the red alert zone. "In order to maintain the equilibrium of the gap between the demand and supply during summers, judicious use of water is the only solution. Similarly, the people need to be educated with the alarming rate of depleting ground water levels," added the official.
