DELHI MUNICIPAL CORPORATION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2022
March 23, 2022
The Union Cabinet cleared a Bill that proposes to unify the three civic bodies in Delhi. The Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022, is expected to be tabled in Parliament this week.
About:
The amendment proposes a unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi by subsuming the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation. The corporation was trifurcated in 2012.
According to Government of India, The division of the corporation was uneven in terms of territorial divisions and revenue generation. As a result, there is a huge gap in the resources available to the three corporations, vis-à-vis their obligation.
The gap has widened over time, increasing the financial difficulties of the civic bodies.
At the moment the precise contours of the unified civic body are yet to emerge — especially in terms of the composition of its legislature and the executive.
