New Delhi: Delhi's Arvind Kejriwal government has issued instructions to stop the proposal for an increase in the funds of the councillors of North Delhi Municipal Corporation. On the orders of Satyendar Jain, Minister of Urban Development Department in Delhi, Deputy Director of the Urban Development Department has written a letter to North Delhi Municipal Corporation Commissioner. The deputy director of the Delhi government has directed the North Delhi Municipal Corporation to stop the proposal to increase the councillor's fund from 25 lakh to one and a half crore till the financial condition is correct.
The deputy director has written in his letter, 'At a time when the whole country is going through a financial crisis due to Corona. MP and MLA funds are suspended. Such a decision is beyond comprehension. Due to the deteriorating financial condition, the three Municipal Corporations are not able to give salary to their staff. Before this, AAP has raised questions on increasing the council fund of 25 lakh by BJP-ruled North MSD by 600% to 1.5 crores.
AAP's MCD in-charge Durgesh Pathak has said that during the Corona era, the BJP-ruled central government had stopped the funds of MPs. Similarly, the Delhi government had banned the funds of legislators and many schemes. At such a time, increasing the fund of councillors is like a joke with those workers who are not getting the salary. Meanwhile, the Delhi government issued an order and directed to suspend that proposal.
