After electricity, water is literally going to burn a hole in the pockets of Delhiites. Delhi CM Mrs Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday confirmed the government’s plan of privatisation of Delhi Jal Board, following a model similar to the one followed by the discoms for power distribution. The privatisation will result in a massive hike in water tariff.
“Privatisation of water distribution system is definitely necessary in Delhi. We want to replicate the same model in Delhi Jal Board that we have used in the privatisation of power distribution,” Ms Dikshit told reporters here.
