Friends,
The consumer-unfriendly MERC has announced a whole series of Public
Hearings – just so that you can be charged MORE for electricity, from April
1st.
Your April bills will come in the first week of May and by then it will be
“too late” to file any appeal with MERC – 45 period from date or Order will
be over!
It is better to raise your voice NOW.
If you don’t know what to do, don’t worry – I have made a list of MERC’s
violations – and illegalities in the conduct of these hearings – and have
attached a standard template “MERC_PUBLIC_2008.doc”
Just make the necessary changes (highlighted in BLUE) and courier it to the
respective companies as well as to MERC (MERC address is in the document).
Though MERC does not permit email submissions, you can take a chance and
also email it to mercindia@mercindia.org.in – and please mark me a copy at
snohri2004@yahoo.co.in so that I will be able to take it up with MERC.
I have attached 2 sample pdf files, of my previous submissions, for your
reference – so that you can see what a finished output will look like.
Please send these as soon as possible, as the following are the dates:
Jan 21 – MahaTransco (Last date for filing suggestions was Jan 15)
Feb 04 – MahaGenco (Last date… is Jan 29)
Feb 06 – BEST (Last date … is Feb 1)
Feb 06 – TPC (Last date .. is Jan 30)
Feb 09 – REL (Last date … is Feb 04)
Feb 18 – Pune – MahaVitaran (Last date .. is Feb 02)
Feb 21 – CBD Belapur – MahaVitaran (Last date .. is Feb 02)
Take action NOW – or pay higher bills later …

flourish” – Edmund Burke
