Through the bill, the Centre proposes to appoint a “Special officer” who will essentially discharge the functions of the elected wing of councillors in the interim till the first meeting of the new corporation is held. 

 

New Delhi: Lok Sabha, on Wednesday, March 30, passed the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which seeks to bring all three municipal corporations of Delhi under one head.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in reply to the discussion on the MCD unification Bill, said the Bill is within powers given to Parliament as per Section 239 AA. He also said that the Delhi government has a ‘step-motherly’ attitude towards MCDs. 

He said since Delhi is the national capital and home to the President House, PMO, secretariats and other important places, it is important that three civic bodies can do their work properly.

The Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022 aims to merge the three municipal corporations of the national capital into a single entity. It does away with the earlier 2011 amendment to the laws by which the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was divided into North, South, and East Delhi Municipal Corporations.

Last week, the Union Cabinet gave its nod to present a bill for the unification of three municipal corporations.

Through the bill, the Centre proposes to appoint a “Special officer” who will essentially discharge the functions of the elected wing of councillors in the interim till the first meeting of the new corporation is held. 

The bill proposes to completely omit the section on the director, local bodies in the amended act that governs the functioning of the MCDs.

Senior municipal officials and experts said that the move would restore the relations between the Delhi government to pre-2012 days and give more autonomy to the unified corporation.
