Delhi News Live Updates: AAP moves SC against MCD standing committee election

Delhi News Live Updates: The AAP had accused BJP of ‘murdering democracy’ by “staging an illegal and unconstitutional election” for the sixth member of the standing committee.

Delhi News Live Updates: The Aam Aadmi Party has moved Supreme Court against the recently held election for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The AAP had accused BJP of ‘murdering democracy’ by “staging an illegal and unconstitutional election” for the sixth member of the civic body. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi sought to underline that “only the Mayor has the authority to set the date and venue for these elections”, and bypassing this process is not just a breach of rules but an attack on the democratic fabric of the MCD.

Constable mowed down by car: A Delhi Police constable died after being hit and dragged by a car for 10 m in West Delhi in an alleged case of road rage late on Saturday night, police said. A 2018-batch constable, Sandeep, 30, was patrolling in the area in plainclothes on a motorcycle after reports of an increase in burglaries were received, the police said.

Weather forecast: The India Meteorological Department has forecast partly cloudy sky today. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 34 and 25 degree Celsius respectively.
