MCD Session Adjourned Amid Chaos; Committee Elections Set for August
The Delhi city council meeting got shut down quickly because some people were making a lot of noise.
The problem was that the number of people on a special committee for a certain group of people (Dalits) had been reduced.
The group causing the noise didn't like this change.
The mayor said they just wanted to cause trouble.
The opposing group said it was unfair to the people affected.
Elections for committee leaders will happen soon.
People have to sign up to be in charge by the end of July.
A special session of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was adjourned within 10 minutes due to chaos.
AAP councillors protested the reduction in the Scheduled Caste (SC) Committee's membership from 35 to 21.
Elections for the chairperson and vice-chairperson of special and ad-hoc committees will be held on August 6 and 7.
The last date for filing nominations is July 31.
The Mayor accused AAP of disruption; the Leader of Opposition accused BJP of anti-Dalit actions.
