MCD puts on hold election to special, ad hoc committees
New Delhi:
Municipal Corporation of Delhi
has postponed the election for 21 special and ad hoc committees, which was scheduled to take place on July 10.
MCD announced the election on June 26, with the last date for filing nominations being July 3.
However, a circular issued on Wednesday stated that the election was put on hold for some reasons.
"With reference to this notice, the nomination of members for election... stands withdrawn, as per the mayor's order. The next date for filing nomination and conduct of the election... will be notified as and when finalised," stated the notice.

The ad hoc committees include education, health, environment management services, licence and tehbazari, community services, anti-malaria measures, grievances redressal and anti-flood measures.
"These committees usually make decisions on projects that need to be executed on priority in their sectors and approach the standing committee for the allocation of the budget accordingly," said an official. "Usually, the number of councillors applying for member posts for each committee is equivalent to the number of seats available. If more councillors apply, the election is done through proportionate voting," he added.
The education committee has seven members and three of them, mostly experts in the field, are nominated. In each committee, the members elect the chairman and the deputy chairman.
