Noida : There was a discussion in the assembly on April 2, 2025, Wednesday about the water problem and pending bills.
A new scheme will be brought to settle the huge and wrongly made bills. Connections will not be cut until a solution is found.
Pravesh Verma, Water Minister
Fake bills worth lakhs of rupees were sent to scare and threaten the public in ten years. It had become common to send bills worth lakhs of rupees even to small houses of 100 yards and 25 yards. Due to this, poor and middle-class families had to face a lot of problems. Special attention is being given to the issues of service charge, penalty and interest and these will be resolved. Many workers make higher bills for people by putting wrong readings. Due to this, many times consumers have to pay unfair money. Strict action will be taken against those who do such rigging.
Pravesh Sharma, Water Minister
Now strict monitoring will be done on complaints of wrong billing and the public has been appealed not to go for settlement for any wrong bill, but to directly register a complaint. A plan has also been made to replace and investigate faulty meters. Lakhs of consumers are expected to get relief from the scheme being brought to solve the problem of outstanding bills. This will benefit those who are troubled by the problem of wrong billing. The government will soon make public the complete details of this scheme.
