NEW DELHI, June 25: Delhi Government today proposed to set up a new agency - Delhi Urban Development Agency (DUDA) - in each districts which will work as central agency for execution of developmental projects as well as maintenance of public assets. "This new agency will execute the works recommended by the citizens under 'Swaraj Fund' and works recommended by MLAs through MLA-LAD Fund," Finance Minister Manish Sisodia proposed while tabling Delhi Budget for financial year 2015-16. "In addition, this new agency will also play a vital role in providing basic civic services and their improvement in unauthorised colonies and rural areas," he added. Highlighting the need for setting up DUDA, he said, at present there is confusion about who is the appropriate agency for maintenance, construction and implementation of varoius public works projects in Delhi. "There are a number of agencies for public works like improvement of roads, renovation of drains, renovation of parks or street lights, but in reality none of the agencies take ownership of these public works," Sisoida said. Explaining the problem of multiplicity of agencies Sisodia said, departments like Irrigation and Flood Control Department, which are responsible for major works like flood control and irrigation, have been assigned the work of construction of small street drains in unauthorised colonies. Same work in unauthorised colonies has also been assigned to municipal corporations, PWD and DSIIDC, he said, adding that the move to create DUDA was for better administrative control and supervision. DUDA will be formed in each districts and would be headed by the District Magistrate, who will be assisted by a team of engineers. It would facilitate in improving the accountability, efficiency and transparency in delivery of public services, he added.
