Saxena tweeted, “The past financial mismanagement and non-payment of property taxes by most residents have led to the current financial crisis.”

“MCD services 94% of Delhi. Past financial mismanagement & non payment of any property tax by 75% residents has made it go in RED. It’s time we-one of richest cities in India, pay our dues to MCD honestly. Your suggestions & participation will help achieve this,” he tweeted.

To ameliorate MCD’s financial health, the LG also urged the public to give suggestions at “mailto:writetolgdelhi@gmail.com” \nwritetolgdelhi@gmail.com.

According to data shared by Saxena, Delhi has 1,483 sqkm area, and MCD’s jurisdiction extends to 94.2% of the total area.
