What is the News?
The Union Cabinet has approved the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022.
What is Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022?
The Bill proposes a unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi by subsuming the South Delhi Municipal Corporation(SDMC), North Delhi Municipal Corporation(NDMC) and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation EDMC).
What was the need for this Bill?
The Delhi Municipal Corporation was trifurcated into three Municipal Corporations in 2011. However, 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–a–vis their obligation. This gap has widened over time, increasing the financial difficulties of the municipal corporations.
Hence, the Bill has been brought to create a unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
