AAP neglecting waste management network: BJP
The Delhi unit of the BJP has criticised the AAP government in the MCD House for neglecting the deteriorating sanitation network in the national capital.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), on Wednesday, announced that it would no longer accept property tax payments through cheques from July 1 in light of cheque dishonour problems faced by the civic body.
“Due to legal issues arising out of dishonoured cheques, cheque payments of property tax shall be done away with from July 1 onwards,” the MCD said.

“The electronic payment will not only ensure timely payment and issue of receipt but also facilitate ease of doing business. Taxpayers will be able to pay property conveniently and receive faster reconciliation of the same,” it said.
The MCD also appealed to all the property owners/occupiers of the vacant lands and buildings to pay tax for the current year 2024-25 and get a 10 per cent rebate on lump sum payments of tax before June 30.
