Amid chaos, MCD rolls back user charges, announces tax amnesty

The newly-formed IVP, which consists of 16 former AAP councillors, including ex-LOH Mukesh Goel, accused the AAP of paralyzing the MCD over the last two and a half years.

In turn, AAP councillors accused the IVP of operating under the influence of the BJP.

Amidst the chaos, a private resolution was tabled to roll back user charges levied on garbage collection, which had been imposed as part of property tax. The resolution was passed, and it was announced that a nominated member would take their oath during the session.
