Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta has nominated 14 MLAs to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for the financial year 2025-26. The nomination has been made under Section 3(3)(B) of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957.
Responsibilities of the Nominated MLAs
The nominated MLAs will help MCD in administration, budget planning, and urban development. Their main responsibilities will include:

Focus on Cleanliness and Development
MCD was earlier divided into three zones (North, South, and East), but in 2022, it was merged into a single entity. However, MCD still faces challenges like budget shortages, waste disposal issues, and pending salaries of employees.
The nomination of these 14 MLAs is expected to help in tackling these problems and improving Delhi’s urban management.
Strengthening MCD for Better Governance
MCD is Delhi’s largest local body, responsible for maintaining sanitation, roads, streetlights, parks, and other civic amenities. The effective functioning of MCD is crucial for providing better living conditions in the city.
This initiative by the Delhi Assembly is considered a major step toward sustainable urban development, better public services, and transparent administration.
