Water bill payment: NGT seeks response from govt, Delhi Police

A Bench headed by Justice U D Salvi issued notices to the Delhi government, Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Pollution Control Committee and Delhi Police while seeking their reply in three weeks. 

The matter is now listed for next hearing on July 5. The order came on the plea of Delhi resident Sanjay Kumar who told the Bench that he has learnt through RTI replies that Delhi Police have not paid its water bills to the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). 

“For example, the applicant has learnt from the reply of the RTI provided by the Delhi Police itself that the consolidated Bill amount payable by the SHO, Office Kamla Market, Police Station Building, Delhi runs to more than Rs 27 crore,” Kumar said.
