Ban illegal constructions,
LG orders MCD
New Delhi, March 22 The civic agency has been asked to keep tab on all illegal constructions and encroachments in Delhi and take strict action against the offenders. The corporation has also been asked to immediately address the complaints against such constructions, according to senior municipal officials. Residents have been since long demanding such an action from the LG as the special task force (STF) formed by the government has received around one lakh complaints from across the city since March 2011. The STF was constituted last year to check illegal constructions. It is supposed to act against illegal constructions done after Feb 2007. The LG order follows the report of an inquiry commission probing the Lalita Park building collapse tabled in the Assembly yesterday. The report has indicted the MCD for the tragedy. The report has stressed the failure of the civic agency in monitoring illegal constructions . It blames the building, property and factory licencing departments of the MCD for poor coordination and for not being vigilant. However, according to engineers, field officials working against encroachments face resistance from influential people, including politicians. |

MCD poll: Six seats enough for SAD, says BJP
New Delhi, March 22 According to the sources, for the last many days senior SAD leaders had meetings with senior BJP leaders for the seat adjustment. The SAD is of the view that out of 272 municipal wards, six seats are nothing. But the BJP's argument is that with the trifurcation of the MCD, the SAD leaders should not think of 272 wards. The South Delhi municipal corporation has 104, North Delhi 104 and the East Delhi municipal corporation has just 64 wards. Though the Congress is feeling week due to irregularities in the Commonwealth Games, 2G spectrum and other scandals, but in small corporations it should not be taken lightly. These are national issues. The corporation's election will be contested on local issues. It will be difficult for the SAD to win the seats it is demanding. The BJP has strong candidates to give the Congress befitting reply in the election. The sources said that in East Delhi it was difficult for the BJP to give more than one seat to the SAD, two seats in North Delhi and three in South. It also has to give one seat to Gurmeet Singh Shunty, general secretary of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee who has recently joined the BJP.
