Form enquiry commission to probe discoms' irregularities: Congress

NEW DELHI: Congress today demanded Delhi Government to constitute enquiry commission headed by a sitting judge of high court to advance and implement findings of CAG report on irregularities of power companies ( DISCOMs).

In a letter issued to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today, Congress also reiterated demand for appointment of Lokpal as presence of the ombudsman would have ensured transparency in governance in Delhi and bring the CAG report to a logical conclusion.

"We have sought a probe headed by a sitting HC judge in order to materialise findings of CAG report on irregularities by DISCOMs and for necessary action, thereof. We have also sought immediate appointment of Lok Pal," Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken told reporters.

Maken further said to have requested Kejriwal to stop immediately annual payment of Rs 2,000 crore made to the 'corrupt' power companies in the form of subsidy as "it is the hard earned money of people".

He demanded tariff must be slashed urgently by implementing the CAG report.
