Cuts Road Fund to Boost Councillor Allocations
NEW DELHI: In a special meeting held on Wednesday, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) passed a key resolution to regularise 12,000 contractual and daily wage employees by approving an ₹800 crore fund. This decision came as part of finalising the Budget for the fiscal year 2025-26, which was initially presented in February by MCD Commissioner Ashwini Kumar.
The proposal, presented by the Leader of the House, Mukesh Goyal, included reallocating ₹500 crore from the Mayor's Fund and ₹300 crore from funds designated for road maintenance and construction. This fund will be used to regularise the workers and facilitate their promotion and salary adjustments. The Mayor, Mahesh Kumar Khechi, began the proceedings, and after several discussions, the new proposal was passed in the session, which saw disruptions.
