NEW DELHI: Municipal Corporation of Delhi Standing Committee chairman Ram Kishan Singhal has directed the Municipal Commissioner to immediately release an additional Rs.50 lakh to each municipal councillor from the Councillors’ Fund. Acco-rding to Mr. Singhal, an allocation of Rs.2 crore each had been made during the current financial year but only Rs.50 lakh has been released so far and the councillors “are facing problems as the limitation has affected develop- ment work in their areas”.
