Mayor writes to MCD official over de-sealing

Oberoi, in her letter, accused the commissioner of "wilful insubordination" and "complete dereliction of his duties under the DMC (Delhi Municipal Corporation) Act." 

HT reached out to Bharti, but the MCD commissioner did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.

De-sealing shops at LSCs is the latest point of contention between two distinct authorities of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) the executive wing (comprising bureaucrats), and the deliberative wing (led by the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP).

The house of councillors on two previous occasions passed resolutions regarding the de-sealing of properties in seven LSCS that have moved court on December 23 and on January 17- but the executive wing is yet to act on these instructions.
