The MCDs passed a resolution for requesting city government to issue notification of 351 roads as commercial, mixed land use and pedestrian streets.”
Gupta claimed he enclosed copies of correspondence on the issue from May 2017 for perusal by the L-G and the Chief MInister so that the issue could be considered for an early decision.

eeping in view all this it is becoming essential to issue notification in respect of 351 roads. This will go a long way in allaying the fear among traders. This will also facilitate hike in the revenue of MCDs because of collection of conversion charge.”
