NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet cleared the bill to merge all three municipal corporations of Delhi on Tuesday, March 22. As per the sources, The Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill will likely be introduced in the Budget Session of Parliament. Sources said that the unified municipal corporation will be equipped for efficient and even utilisation of financial resources which will help in the reduction of liabilities and expenditure on three corporations.
Some other amendments are also cleared in the original act (The Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957) to ensure greater transparency, improved governance and efficient delivery of civic services in the capital. In 2011, the Delhi Municipal Corporation was divided into three corporations – South, East and North.
The division of municipal corporations was not done evenly in terms of territory and revenue generation potential, as a result, there was a huge gap in the resources available for the corporations, sources said.
