The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has approved employee-welfare measures in a bid to support current and former municipal staff and their families.
The initiatives include a one-time policy relaxation for regularizing municipal quarters for spouses or wards of retired or deceased employees, with penalties being waived.
NDMC will also withdraw legal proceedings for housing issues in cases where court cases are ongoing, offering relief to affected families.
Key allowances for medical staff, like Hospital Patient Care Allowances and Conveyance Allowances, were approved to support frontline healthcare workers.
Amendments to Recruitment Rules covering over 1,000 posts were passed, aiming to strengthen senior management by merging deputy director roles.
The development package worth Rs 135 crore reflects NDMC's focus on infrastructure growth and the well-being of its workforce.
