12 MCD Zones To Be Renamed To Match Delhi's Reorganised Districts As`Centre Approves Proposal

Delhi's municipal administrative map is set for a change after the Centre has approved the renaming of 12 MCD zones to bring them in line with the capital's recently reorganised districts, sources said.

According to sources, the official communication dated June 2 said that the state government has been asked to notify the amendment in the Delhi Gazette.

Further, it was added that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued directions to the Delhi government's Chief Secretary for amending the Fourteenth Schedule of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957.

Fourteenth Schedule of the DMC Act dictates the administrative and geographical breakdown of the city. It defines the boundaries and wards for each municipal zone, facilitating governance and civic service administration.
