The election to the standing committee has long been demanded by the Opposition as they said it was hampering the financial allocation for big projects in the civic body.
Earlier on August 23, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi directed the Municipal secretary to initiate the election process in the civic body.
In a letter addressed to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) secretary, she asked him to initiate the process for the election of chairmen, deputy chairmen of the ward committee, and one member to the standing committee from the ward committee as per provisions of the Delhi Municipal Committee Act, 1957.
