CPI(M) slams hike in water charges

Shimla, Jan 28 (UNI) Local unit of CPI(M) slammed the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government for 10 per cent hike in water rates in Shimla.
CPI(M) Local Committee Secretary Jagat Ram said the public is already facing the brunt of inflation, in such a situation, increasing the water rates would put additional burden on the pocket of Shimla residents.
Shimla MC and Shimla Jal Parbandhan Nigam Limited (SJPNL) gave argument for hike that an MOU was signed with World Bank for the project, and civic body is bound to increase the rates of water by 10 per cent every year. The party has demanded from the government and the municipal corporation that such conditions should not be fixed in any project which are against the public or infringing on the interests of the public. With the World Bank project, the conditions of increasing water rates by 10 per cent every year should be cancelled so that the people of Shimla city could be relieved.
