Steps by the Central Government

There is a wide spread demand in Delhi for giving legal recognition to residents welfare associations. A draft of “Model Nagar Raj Bill” has been sent to all state governments by the central government last year in which it was requested that they should make necessary amendments, using their intellectual discretion, and pass the bill in their Vidhan Sabhas. This step is a big event of the central government. This is for the first time that resident welfare associations are being recognized as a unit of a city. But the sad part is that in draft of the central government, RWA have not been vested with real power.

Civil society members have rejected the current draft of Local government bill. Many prominent citizens like Mr. Prashant Bhushan, Lawyer of Supreme Court, Social worker Mr. Anna Hazare, Former Chief Secretary Mr. S. C. Bahar, have come up with a new draft for the Local government bill. Let us look at 
the prominent provisions of the “Local government bill” which is being demanded by the members of the civil society.
