Delhi's Civil Lines Zone to be renamed as Mukherjee Nagar Zone

The Civil Lines Zone in north Delhi is set to be renamed as Mukherjee Nagar Zone as the NDMC House today proposed to rechristen it since the eponymous area, which came under its old jurisdictional limit, has now fallen into a new civic zone.
Recently, Keshavpuram was carved out as a new zone while City and Sadar-Paharganj zones of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation were merged into a single entity.
After the redrawing of the boundaries, the Civil Lines area now falls under the Keshavpuram Zone.
"Since the Civil Line area does not fall under its eponymous zone anymore, the name of the zone is not suitable. And, Mukherjee Nagar falls within the jurisdiction of the zone, so, it will be appropriate to name it after that area ('Mukherjee Nagar Zone')," reads the resolution passed by the NDMC House.

The 104-member House of the BJP-led corporation also resolved to name the joint City and Sadar-Paharganj zone as 'Chandni Chowk Zone' after the historic area in Old Delhi.
The NDMC has a total of 104 wards spread over six zones.

Before the redrawing, the zones were -- Rohini, Civil Lines, City, Sadar Paharganj, Narela and Karol Bagh. After redrawing also, the total number of zones remains the same.
In response to another private member resolution, the House proposed that the mayor be authorised to decide whether Ramlila Maidan can be alloted free of cost to religious and social organisation for hosting programmes which are in the interest of the society.

The proposals will have be approved by the municipal commissioner before coming into effect.
