Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to introduce the Delhi Municipal Corporation Amendment Bill in the Parliament today which seeks to unify the three municipal bodies in the national capital.
According to the key provisions of the Bill, the reunification of the three MCDs — which were trifurcated in 2012 by the then chief minister Sheila Dikshit — will give complete control of the civic body to the Centre.
Apart from replacing the word “Government” with “Central Government”, the provisions raise the prospect of a delimitation exercise, which could lead to a considerable delay in the conduct of civic body polls. And to run the corporation till then, they give the Centre the option of appointing an officer of its choice.
