New Delhi: North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) Mayor Ravinder Gupta has asked Delhi Government for early release of municipal reforms fund and other grants so as to enable the civic body to pay salaries and pensions on time during the festive season.
Mr Gupta has written a letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for immediate release of funds and grants under various heads. "The festive season is round the corner, all employees expect salaries, pensions and other payments on time," he wrote in the letter.
Mr Gupta said due to "non-payment" of global share, municipal reforms fund and other grants to NDMC, financial situation of the civic body has become "worse".
The Mayor apprised the Chief Minister through his letter that due to non-payment of pension by the corporation for more than a year, nearly 80,000 families have been suffering.
"As a result of cutting of funds of Rs 158 crore under education head and Rs 30 crore under health head, many important schemes are pending," he said.
Mr Gupta has also urged the government to establish a strong coordination with NDMC for an early resolve of fund-related issues and better delivery of services to the people.
