I think it's still 700 ltrs / day. & that caveat, if you use more than 700ltrs / day you will be charged for the entire amount. Did this hidden clause exist in their manifesto? I think NOT! Maybe Delhiites will have to install a water meter & start measuring the water they consume. However Jal board will have ways to manipulate the meter reading & see that everyone uses more than stipulated amount of water! Nothing changes....
Thanks for spotting that..the rediff link had it as 700 litres/month but I have since realised this is not the case.
Nevertheless, as you have rightly pointed out there were no conditions attached to the giveaway in the manifesto but now it turns out it is to be time limited and carries cost implications that would most likely be passed on to consumers. AAP's argument that such freebies would be funded through efficiency savings has been thoroughly debunked once again
You guys need to understand the reasoning behind it.
700 ltr per day is good enough for a household. If it is uncapped, people will waste more water since they know even if reading goes 1000 they have to pay just for 300 ltrs. We should not let them forget the importance of water saving.
