The Capital has saved the date today to cast its ballot for the civic body polls, which would decide the fate of 272 wards and how well they will shape out in terms of basic amenities.

The MCD polls, though, are lackluster compared to their assembly and Lok Sabha brethren, their significance for the common man and their role in setting larger political agenda can not be overlooked. Ground facilities like roads, street lights, sanitation besides other community issues like education and health largely depend on the Councillors selected through these polls.

Making or breaking the city's civic infrastructure and improving or worsening citizen's quality of life is solely the responsibility of the Municipal Corporations. Hence it becomes imperative for voters to exercise their franchise. The poll is also important as the corporation is responsible for upkeep of unauthorised and resettlement colonies apart from JJ clusters.

The Corporations runs thousands of primary schools and health care centers that is the priority of citizens. Voting for this election means a lot for Delhiites as they will be able to select the local councillor of their choice who in turn will resolve the issues pertaining to their daily needs.

Not only that the corporation also look after parks and playgrounds in the colonies that is the requirement for healthy life. Moreover, as people of Delhi have more expectations from local councillors than the legislature or parliamentarians, so the poll is crucial for the residents of the national capital.
