AAP MLA Alka Lamba today accused North Delhi MCD officials of threatening to file an FIR against PWD officers after they started work on two mohalla clinics in her Chandni Chowk constituency.
Lamba said PWD officials had identified two spots to start mohalla clinics, the state government's flagship project, near Tibetan Colony and Majnu ka Tila in North Delhi.
"After identifying the location, we got it cleaned. We had also done bhoomi pooja yesterday and when PWD officials started work, MCD personnel threatened to register an FIR against them.
"I tried to contact the MCD higher-ups, but could not get through them," Lamba said.
She alleged that the MCD has allowed illegal shops to thrive in the area's footpaths and failed to clear them.
