Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday asked the residents of the national capital to not pay their wrong water bills and tear them away. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief visited the Govindpuri area of Delhi and met the residents regarding the water bill issue. He assured the people that the Delhi government is working to fix the wrong bills generated during the COVID-19 period and are based on fake readings.
“During the Corona period, readings were not taken for many months. They filled out fake readings while sitting in the office. Because of that wrong bills started coming, and the public did not pay the bills. Interest was charged on it and now the bills have reached lakhs. Around 11 lakh families across Delhi are getting the wrong bills… We have come up with a scheme to correct the old bills of those whose old bills are coming wrong,” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said.
Arvind Kejriwal said that he is working to fix the wrong bills and 95% of such bills will soon become zero. “Our estimate is that with this 95% of the bills will become zero…those who are getting the wrong bills, there is no need to pay, just tear it and throw it away, and I will get it fixed. LG belongs to the BJP. BJP people told LG to stop the scheme. This is wrong …” he added.
