At 1st meet in 2.5 yrs, crucial MCD panel to look at 125+ proposals
Hindustan Times
|June 18, 2025
After more than two and a half years of legal and political gridlock, the standing committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has finally been constituted—clearing the way for over 125 long-pending proposals to move forward.
The powerful panel, which controls the MCD's purse strings, is expected to meet for the first time next week, with a barrage of infrastructure and civic improvement projects on its agenda, according to civic officials.
Civic officials said that the town planning department alone has moved 73 proposals seeking approval for layout plans of delayed projects. "More proposals are being added each day. Most of these pertain to layout approvals that have been stalled for the last two and a half years," a senior municipal official said.
Key projects awaiting clearance include DTC group housing schemes in Hari Nagar and Shadipur, hostel towers near Dhaka village in north Delhi for Delhi University, and revisions in the layout plan of Moolchand Hospital.
