In 2011, the Sheila Dikshit government moved a proposal to divide the MCD into three separate bodies, arguing that it will improve overall efficiency. In November 2011, the Union home ministry cleared the proposal.
The Delhi government convened a special assembly session and passed the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill in December 2011. Then-President Pratibha Patil cleared it in the same month.
The final notification for the trifurcation was issued in January 2012, carving North, South, and East Delhi Municipal Corporations with 104 wards given to the first two and 64 to the third respectively.
We knew that EDMC will face a severe cash crunch & we opposed the proposal from day one.
And we faced the Strike by the Sanitation workers in East Delhi. In fact, there were multiple strikes & residents faced garbage all over.
We can just hope that the Unification of MCD will improve the overall situation of the areas under EDMC, which has so many issues such as Air - Pollution, Waterlogging, Parking, Traffic jam, Encroachment, Right to walk, etc.
