The New Nation - Internet Edition

Through your esteemed daily we would like to draw the kind attention of the authorities concerned that many consumers/customers have not received the Yearly Clearance Certificate of payment of their monthy DESA and WASA bills for last two years, as yet.

The possession of the clearance certificate by the consumers/ customers protects and saves them from the harassment of some unscrupulous elements of DESA and WASA who from time to time demand double payment of the bill because we fail to produce before them copies of the old paid monthly bills which are incidently misplaced or lost by us.

We would request the DESA and WASA to expedite issuance of yearly clearance certificate or a statement of outstanding bills, if any for last two years in order to maintain and settle upto date account of bills and to keep DESA and WASA as well as customers/consumers free from any predicament in future in the interest of public service.

We would also request our authorities concerned to give some incentive/award or prize to the consumers/customers who pay their monthly bills regularly for a period of five years, at a stretch, without any break.
