RWA to Assist in deciding Funds for Development Work in their Wards
MCD is launching a new initiative – resident ward committee – under which RWAs will assist councillors in deciding expenditure for development work in their wards
With an aim to connect better with residents of Delhi, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is launching a new initiative – Resident Ward Committee – under which RWAs will assist councillors in deciding expenditure for development work in their wards. It will be mandatory for all councillors to conduct a monthly meeting with all RWA representatives from his/her ward. The minutes of the resident ward committee meeting will be sent to the Mayor’s office.
Till now, councillors used to spend money depending on their whims and fancies.The residents never got to know where the money was spent. Now, when all RWAs will sit together and prepare a list of all works which need to be done in the ward, people will know what the demands raised by various RWAs are and how the money is being spent.
The initiative will be launched by Delhi Mayor P R Sawhney on Wednesday. “This will ensure better coordination between resident welfare associations and MCD. RWAs are better informed about the pertinent problems. They can provide quality inputs when it comes to the development of the ward,” said Sawhney.
