Devlopment work in the Capital is crawling, thanks to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). But the civic authority can't blame the snail's pace progress on a dearth of funds.
It has come to light that the MCD has not fully utilised the funds sanctioned to it by MLAs and MPs for the development of their constituencies. In 2009-10, 62 MLAs and eight MPs gave about Rs 102 crore to the MCD.
But only about Rs 6 crore was spent till February 28 this year. This means that a huge sum of Rs 96 crore is lying unspent. In fact, there are 34 MLAs whose funds have not been touched at all! These include Surender Kumar from Bawana, who gave over Rs 2 crore; Bijender Singh from Nangloi Jat, who gave Rs 1.5 crore; Kanwar Karan Singh from Model Town, who gave about Rs 2 crore; Harsharan Singh Balli from Hari Nagar, who gave Rs 2.7 crore; and Bharat Singh from Najafgarh, who gave Rs 2.8 crore.
These funds were released by the MLAs for civic work in their constituencies such as revamping of roads and parks and construction of community halls.
