The Delhi government has sent a fresh proposal to the Home Ministry,after making certain changes in its earlier proposal for trifurcation of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) ahead of next years municipal polls.

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Saturday said a fresh proposal was sent to the Ministry for approval by Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna on Friday.

The government envisaged setting up of a new body called Delhi Municipal Authority (DMA) to coordinate functioning of the three proposed municipalities,but the Home Ministry had objected to setting up of the authority.

Following the objection,the government dropped its plan to set up the DMA and instead decided to create a post of director of civic bodies which will coordinate among the three municipalities.
