Haryana to roll back 20% water tariff hike
The Fact News Service
Chandigarh, July 27
Weeks after residents across the state received inflated water bills, CM Manohar Lal Khattar has ordered the rolling back of the 25 per cent hike effected by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) on account of arrears, while directing the department to increase the bills only by 5 per cent for the current financial year.
Sources said the CM had now directed the HSVP to effect a 5 per cent hike in water charges, in keeping with the water bylaws from April 1 this year, since it would be unfair if arrears were raised without issuing a demand notice for the original amount. He asked the department to withdraw the demand raised in the bills received by residents for last month.
