Overview

• The reorganization links district magistrate jurisdictions to Municipal Corporation of Delhi zonal boundaries to improve coordination and reduce residents’ office runaround.
• Mini-secretariats will consolidate district services under the DM with tighter accountability for quicker, more transparent delivery.
• District magistrate offices are being renovated and reinforced with staff, authority, and financial resources as part of the decentralisation push.
• Key implementation details remain unsettled, with officials indicating the change may be administrative rather than a formal shift from 11 to 12 districts.
• At the Alipur complex, CM Rekha Gupta inaugurated the North Delhi DDC chairman’s office and set out plans for regular public hearings; the week also saw the U‑Special electric bus service return for students.
