Dawn 25 March 2013
Sir, This refers to the clarification issued by the Cantonment Board Clifton (March 19) in response to my complaint ‘Waterless DHA’. First of all, the CBC has not redressed my complaint. All six small flats of the building where I live continue to be starved of water. So far no practical steps have been taken by the CBC to mend the broken or choked water mains, nor a single drop of water has been supplied to the residents. It would have been fair for the CBC PRO to emphasise the importance of timely payment of water tax if the residents were not perpetually deprived of water for years without any effort on part of the authority to execute its responsibility. Almost all the commercial areas of the DHA are waterless and are forced to buy contaminated water from external sources at a heavy price. This fact can be verified through an independent
survey. On top of that the residents are unfairly forced to pay phantom water bills to the CBC when it is an established premise that one should not be doubly taxed. If the CBC cannot provide water they must not bill for it.
