The South civic body’s plan to end haphazard parking in commercial and residential areas is yet to gain traction
Two years ago, the Delhi Government chalked out the Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Places Rules. The Capital’s three municipal corporations — North, South and East — were instructed to developparking area management plans (PMAPs) to regularise haphazard parking in commercial and residential areas. The civic bodies were also required to consult Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs) during both development and implementation stage.
However, the implementation of the policy, aimed at reducing congestion caused by haphazard parking, is yet to gain pace. Take the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), for instance.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
