Of the ₹403.1 million allocated for the construction of toilets, not one rupee has been spent. The money has been lying ‘idle’ in the non-interest generating current accounts of the government. The Modi government’s flagship mission was launched on October 2nd, 2014. The funds were then disbursed in January 2016 to the Delhi government, but were not utilised by the six implementation bodies -- South Delhi Municipal Corporation (South DMC), <keyword id="6356596" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="north-delhi-municipal-corporation">North Delhi Municipal Corporation</keyword> (North DMC), East Delhi Municipal Corporation (East DMC), Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and the Delhi Cantonment Board (DCB). According to the report, the <keyword id="6354944" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="aam-aadmi-party">Aam Aadmi Party</keyword> government had initially promised to construct 200,000 toilet blocks in slums/JJ clusters and unauthorised colonies in its manifesto but failed to deliver on the promise. In fact, the few toilets that were constructed were done from the <keyword id="75926" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="municipal-board">Municipal Board</keyword>’s own funds. The audit pointed to a lack of planning, the skewing of some guidelines and the failure of an adequate monitoring and evaluation mechanism as reasons for the government’s inability to follow through on its commitment. The key findings were as follows:- <ul><li>The implementation bodies underestimated the number of toilets they needed to construct. The three types of toilets that come under this scheme include - household toilets, community toilets and public toilets. According to the audit, the total number of household toilets the civic bodies had expected to construct (September 2015) was 11,117, which is woefully short of the Government of India’s target based on a 2011 census of 1,27,005. </li><li>Out of the six civic bodies, only the East Delhi Municipal Corporation saw the need to construct household toilets in its area. And there too, only 11,117 toilets were projected to be constructed by East DMC whereas the government had projected a need for 56,734 toilets.</li><li>The South Delhi Municipal Corporation and Delhi Cantonment Board didn’t see the need to construct any community toilets but the government had projected a requirement of 718 and 408 community toilets respectively.</li><li>South Delhi Municipal Corporation, Delhi Cantonment Board and Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board did not see the need to construct any public toilets. However, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and East Delhi Municipal Corporation found the necessity of constructing only 205 and 120 public toilets as against 4,116 and 1,972 respectively projected by the central government.</li><li>The South Delhi Municipal Corporation cited space constraints as a reason for not projecting any requirement for construction of community toilets and public toilets.</li><li>“South and North DMCs did not consider unauthorized colonies for projecting requirement of Individual Household Toilets stating that they do not have jurisdiction over them thereby leaving unauthorized colonies out of Mission coverage with regard to Household Toilets.”</li><li>The audit also pointed out that the Delhi government only spent ₹20.3 million on public awareness programme against ₹51.7 million released for this purpose. The audit said, ”this was indicative of inadequate efforts on the part of these implementing agencies to educate the households to avail the benefit of household toilets.”</li><li>The audit noted that the finances were irresponsible managed. There were delays in releasing funds to the implementing agencies, which was exacerbated by the fact that some funds were allocated incorrectly. Furthermore, the implementation agencies did not make use of whatever funds they did receive.</li><li>The report added that the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), which is responsible for making slums and JJ clusters open defecation free, did not receive the state’s share from the government which accounted for 60% of the amount required. The DUSIB later refunded the entire amount of ₹68.6 million it had received from the centre under the Mission.</li><li>Finally, the audit noted that the oversight and monitoring mechanism set up to ensure the implementation of the Mission was ineffective. “The State level High Power Committee (HPC) headed by the Chief Secretary is responsible for approval of plan and projects, sanction of allocation of resources, and monitoring of outcome of the Mission. The audit noted that the HPC met four times since inception of the scheme; discussed the identification of beneficiaries; sought an action plan for scheme implementation, ordered the timely release of funds received from the GoI as well as the State share to the implementing agencies; and requested timely submission of utilisation certificate. Many of these issues were discussed repeatedly in every meeting without much progress thereon.”</li></ul>

Delhi would most probably hold its municipal polls next month. 
 
In his speech, Kejriwal attacked both leading parties, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/CBI-raids-Arvind-Kejriwal-calls-Modi-psychopath-BJP-demands-apology/articleshow/50187217.cms">BJP</a> in the <keyword id="6414396" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="municipal-corporations">municipal corporations</keyword> and Congress, which had been in power for fifteen years with <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Sheila-Dikshit-is-Congress-Chief-Minister-candidate-for-UP-polls-2017/articleshow/53209698.cms">Sheila Dikshit</a> as the Delhi CM. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Arvind-Kejriwal-features-in-Fortunes-Worlds-50-Greatest-Leaders/articleshow/51550626.cms">Kejriwal</a> was in Uttam Nagar area when he said that the municipal bodies have failed to keep the capital clean. 
 
"They say Kejriwal fights a lot. Yes I do, but not for my wife or children. I fight for your rights. So you tell me, should I fight or not?" an emotionally charged Kejriwal addressed the rally. 
 The CM said that <keyword id="3977110" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="cleanliness-and-sanitation">cleanliness and sanitation</keyword> in the city is not under his direct control since the corporations are responsible for these works.

"If AAP gets control, I promise to clean up Delhi like never before," he added. 
 
"Before AAP came to power, the government didn't carry out sewer works in unauthorised colonies. But we changed that as human beings live even in these colonies. Apart from laying sewers, we are working on regularisation. We sent the file to the Centre a year ago, but decision on it has been delayed. The high court has ordered the Centre to speed up the matter," Kejriwal said. 
 
Highlighting what he has done for Delhi in fields of education and health, he said that his government has brought change in the form of improved infrastructure and quality in these sectors.

New Delhi, Feb 18 () As many as 13 members, including representatives of the Union housing and urban affairs ministry and a municipal corporation, will be part of Sebi's committee on 'muni bonds' to suggest the markets regulator on policy matters pertaining to development of such debt securities. The regulator, on Friday, said it constituted a municipal bonds development committee headed by its Executive Director Sujit Prasad. The panel will suggest Sebi on policy matters pertaining to the development of municipal debt securities and facilitate municipalities for issuance of such bonds. The committee comprises representatives from Sebi, municipal corporations, lawyers, professionals and market practitioners. D Thara, joint secretary at the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs; Shekhar Gaikwad, municipal commissioner of Pune Municipal Corporation; and G Mathi Vathanan prinicipal secretary at housing and urban development department in the Odisha government will be part of the committee. Other members of the panel include NSE Chief Business Officer Ravi Varanasi, SBI Capital Markets Head (Capital Markets) Rakesh Joshi, Crisil Ratings President Gurpreet Chhatwal and BSE Chief Trading Operations and Listing Cell Girish Joshi. The committee has been tasked to suggest the regulator on matters required to be taken up for changes in legal framework to introduce simplification and transparency in systems and procedures in the primary and secondary market. Also, the panel would recommend on matters related to regulation of intermediaries for ensuring investor protection in the primary and secondary markets as well as on measures to facilitate issuers, municipalities, for issuance of municipal debt securities. In September, Sebi had relaxed norms for the 'muni bonds' issuance to help smart cities as well as entities working in areas of city planning and urban development work, including municipalities, raise funds through debt securities. Nearly five years ago, the regulator had come out with the Issue and Listing of Debt Securities by Municipalities Regulations and since then, seven municipalities have raised nearly Rs 1,400 crore by issuing their debt securities, which are commonly known as 'muni bonds'.
