Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi clarified on Tuesday that the Hardayal Municipal Public Library was a non-government organisation controlled by its management committee and it only receives grant-in-aid for running the library from the civic body like any other NGO.
The MCD also clarified that it does not exercise direct control over the affairs of the library and it is the management committee that takes policy decisions.
MCD spokesperson Deep Mathur said: “Some newspapers while reporting about the case pertaining to temporary relief for sacked employees heard in the High Court on Monday have dubbed the sacked employees as MCD employees. It has also been reported that these employees were represented in Court by the MCD counsel. The sacked employees are not employees of the civic body and are not represented by the civic body’s counsel in the High Court.”
