NDMC approves key proposals on health, employee welfare and infra
NEW DELHI: The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Thursday approved a series of welfare and infrastructure development proposals during its second council meeting held under the chairmanship of PWD Minister Parvesh Verma. One of the key decisions was the approval of a one-time policy relaxation for regularising Type-I and Type-II municipal quarters in the names of spouses or wards of former NDMC employees. The decision applies even to cases where applications were delayed. Penalties for overstay, including cases with dues up to Rs 24 lakh, will also be waived, Verma said, calling the move 'a just reward for service and dignity.' NDMC will also withdraw related court cases where proceedings are ongoing. In a major welfare boost for healthcare staff, the Council approved Hospital Patient Care Allowance (HPCA) and conveyance allowances for doctors and other health workers serving in NDMC-run hospitals and dispensaries.

NDMC approves welfare infrastructure, healthcare proposals in council meeting
New Delhi: New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) held its second council meeting on Thursday, during which key proposals related to infrastructure, employee welfare, and healthcare services were approved. One of the major welfare decisions included the regularisation of Type-I and Type-II municipal quarters allotted in the names of spouses or wards of former NDMC employees. This applies in cases where the original allottee has retired or passed away, and the applicant—though filing after the permissible period—is a regular NDMC employee. The council approved a one-time policy relaxation, including a waiver of pending dues for such cases. NDMC chairman Parvesh Verma said penalties imposed on families who overstayed by more than two years will also be waived. Citing a specific case where a family faced a penalty of Rs 24 lakh, he said the full amount had been written off. "This is not just about housing; it is about honouring families who served NDMC for years. It is our responsibility to stand by them," Verma said, adding that in cases where legal proceedings are underway, NDMC will move to withdraw them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

These benefits will be granted with retrospective effect from July 1, 2017. A resolution was also passed to extend conveyance allowances to specialist and general duty medical officers.
