COUNCILLORS FEAR STEP- MOTHERLYTREATMENT.THE Centre's proposal to bring the BJP- run Municipal Corporation of Delhi The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is a municipal corporation that governs most of the metropolis of Delhi in India. It is one of three municipal corporations in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, the others being New Delhi Municipal Corporation, and Delhi Cantonment ( MCD MCD Minor Civil Division MCD McDonalds (restaurant) Mcd Macedonian (linguistics) MCD Municipal Corporation of Delhi MCD Magnetic Circular Dichroism MCD Mad Cow Disease ) under the rule of the Congress- led state government may have more implications than meets the eye. The constant squabbling and blame games between the BJP- run MCD and the Congress- led state over civic issues may come to an end and the sluggish pace of development in the Capital should pick up. But detractors felt the move will give chief minister Sheila Dikshit  This article or section resembles a .Please help [ improve this article] by removing excessive trivia, irrelevant praise and criticism, lists and collections of links that are of . unprecedented power, something which will " not be good in the long run". Mayor Kanwar Sain was a worried man on Sunday. His subordinates in the civic agency claimed they " are waiting for the official letter from the home ministry". " We are yet to see what the Centre has proposed. The MCD has its own Act -- the Delhi Municipal Council ( DMC DMC Devil May Cry (video game) DMC Detroit Medical Center DMC Darryl McDaniels (rapper) DMC Destination Management Company DMC Del Mar College (Corpus Christi, TX) ) Act -- and we work according to that. It is not yet clear if the home ministry has ordered an amendment in the Act," municipal secretary Meera Akolia said. Senior MCD officials said an amendment must be carried out in the section 73/ 74 of the DMC Act before powers could be transferred to the Delhi government. " It is a long process. First the amendment has to be approved and then a notification must be given. This may take weeks," Subhash Arya, leader of the House in the MCD, said. Arya added, " The Public Works Department Many governments worldwide have had departments or ministries referred to as the Public Works Department either formally or informally. In Australia: - New South Wales -

But all roads under the PWD are in a pitiable pit·i·a·ble adj. 1. Arousing or deserving of pity or compassion; lamentable. 2. Arousing disdainful pity. See Synonyms at pathetic. pit condition. People are crying for power and water in the Capital -- two charges which fall under the PWD. The CM clearly isn't capable of handling this one department properly, so how can she dream of running the MCD?" Most MCD officials were united in the view that allocation of funds from the Centre to the agency will take a beating. Currently, the MCD gets funds from the Centre as well as the state government through MLAs. Councillors feel once it comes under the state's control, the Delhi government will undoubtedly allocate more funds to its other departments like the PWD and the Delhi Jal Board Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is the government agency responsible for supply of potable water to the most of the National Capital Territory region of Delhi, India. Delhi Jal Board was constituted on 6 April 1998 through an Act of the Delhi Legislative Assembly incorporating the previous by eating into the MCD's pie. " The MCD will be treated like a stepchild step·child n. 1. A child of one's spouse by a previous union. 2. Something that does not receive appropriate care, respect, or attention: "Demography has a reputation for being the stepchild of . . . ," is how an MCD official phrases this. The move, according to senior MCD officials, will hamper, rather than aid, the progress of the projects for the Commonwealth Games 2010, as is being widely believed. Plainly speaking, there will be " too much bitterness between the MCD and the Dikshit government to get any work done", as another official put it. " This move is certainly wrong and has been taken at a wrong time. MCD officials will now exert all their energy in not letting the agency slip out of their hands. The progress of civic projects will certainly be impeded in the process," Mayor Kanwar Sain said. mausam. sharma@mailtoday.in Copyright 2009 India Today Group. All Rights Reserved.
