Delimitation of civic wards: draft report to be out in 10 days
The Hinduhe draft report on the delimitation of municipal wards in the city is likely to be published within the next 10 days for public suggestions and objections, according to sources familiar with the development. Sources said work on Assembly constituencies in east Delhi is currently under way, while work on constituencies in north and south Delhi has been completed, as the exercise continues to remain on “fast-track mode”. According to an order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs dated July 22, the draft delimitation report will show the number of municipal wards along with their individual maps. The need for the delimitation exercise arose after the Centre notified the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 2022, which proposed the merger of the three erstwhile municipal corporations and a reduction in the number of councillor seats to “not more than 250”.
