MCD clears plan to clean all civic roads amid House row

Civic officials said that MCD will hire a consultant to survey the roads and preparing a detailed project report to invite tenders for the project.

The road cleaning project was among several proposals that were cleared by the elected House of councillors amid din caused by persistent protests by members of the opposition.

The officials said that the House passed 20 policy proposals and postponed eight without holding any discussion.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillors protested in the house, holding placards, over the fire in an Alipur factory in which 11 people were killed and a bovine attack in Khanpur that led to a man's death.

Among significant proposals passed by the house was a private member resolution to extend the relief of providing electricity connections to properties that have been booked by the building department and a six-month extension for the existing toll tax operator.

The House meeting started at 2.40pm and lasted for just 12 minutes.

The proceedings began with condolence resolutions for the victims of the Alipur paint fire incident and the Khanpur cattle attack incident. Immediately after the resolutute's silence was observed, BJP councillors rushed to the well of the House with placards and banners demanding the Aam Aadmi Party administration to fix accountability in both the incidents.
