EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DELHI MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND ELECTIONS
Delhi Municipal Corporation Elections are at hand and every party contesting in elections is under pressure. Bharatiya Janata Party has the challenge to win the 2022 Municipal elections for the 4th time whereas other parties have the challenge to win the elections themselves. Municipal Corporation Elections are an important subject in Delhi and DMC 2022 elections are nearby. This article will help you understand everything about Municipal Corporation elections and roles.
In India, all the cities with more than 10 lakhs population need to have a municipal corporation.
The municipal corporation is a local government body. It is an organization that is responsible for citizens well being, roads, water supplies, drainage, etc. It’s also known as Mahanagar Palika, Nagar Palika, Nagar Nigam, City Corporation, etc.
Capital City Delhi is spread over an area of 1,484 km and has 5 municipal bodies. These corporations are spread in the East, North, and South and different regions of Delhi. These municipal corporations are :
- North Delhi Municipal Corporation
- South Delhi Municipal Corporation
- East Delhi Municipal Corporation
- Delhi Cantonment board
- New Delhi Municipal Council
While New Delhi Municipal Council comes directly under the states and no elections are held for this and Delhi Cantonment Board comes under the ministry of defense. The other three municipal corporations come under the Directorate of Local Bodies.
The roles and responsibilities of these three DMCs are the same as other municipal corporations in India. They manage water supply, hospitals, dispensaries, drainage systems, roads, markets, buildings, garbage, waste management, street lights, toll taxes, primary school management, etc. in the city. They also look after construction work in city, collect property taxes and maintain birth and death records of the area.
MCD elections are only held for North, South, and East MCDs and they cover around 96% of Delhi’s geographic area and have an almost equal population.MCD has 272 wards, 4 wards in each of the 68 assembly sections( DCB and NDMC excluded).
In the 2017 MCD elections, BJP won 181 out of 270 seats in all three municipal corporations while AAP won only 48 seats and the Congress party was badly defeated with only 30 seats in all the three municipal corporations.
PARTY NORTH DMC EAST DMC SOUTH DMC TOTAL AAP 21 11 16 48 BJP 64 47 70 181 CONGRESS 15 3 12 30
In the 2022 elections, 1 party and 2 Alliances are participating in the contest. These are the Aam Aadmi Party, NDA, and UPA. It will be interesting to see which party rules over Delhi’s municipal corporations for a few years.

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange
FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.
Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government
Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”
Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”
Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.
“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.
On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”
Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
