Is MERC lying .. or is REL Infra lying ?? - Open letter to MERC
06.07.08 (great date!)

Dear Sirs,
Re: Status of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (erstwhile Reliance Energy Ltd) as an Electricity Distributor under the EA 2003
Please refer attached 2 image files:
1. MERC-RTI.jpg
2. REL_July4th_article.jpg
The first one is a reply sent by your organisation stating that Reliance Infrastructure Ltd is not authorised to distribute electricity.
The second one is an advertisement released by the same Reliance company stating (in the first para under 'Background') that 'Reliance Infrastructure is an electricity distribution company with a distribution license to supply electricity in and around the suburbs of Mumbai..'
Now, please tell us (the general public whom you are supposed to serve - and who pay for your salaries from their hard earned money) .. WHO is LYING?
Did your PIO lie to Mr. Ponrathnam (in the RTI reply) or is the Reliance ADAG company lying (in a public advertisement)?
If your PIO is lying - he can be penalised and so can your entire organisation.
If the Reliance ADAG is lying.. what action can you take? In the past there has never been any penal action on the lies that this same Reliance ADAG company has told (please refer the latest Tariff Order - where they have 'admitted' to making numerous mistakes .. and you have done NOTHING!)
Look forward to receiving your response on this issue.
