Sources said that in the meeting, the committee’s members asked about the amount collected from conversion charges, parking charges and penalties, over the years and its utilisation. “All the three municipal commissioners did not have the details and in view of this, they have been asked to submit the same, in the next meeting of committee,” one of the sources said. The next meeting of the committee may be held on January 23 or 24, 2018.
On January 16, 2018, AAP legislators in the Delhi assembly had alleged that the BJP-led civic bodies did not have details of over Rs 1,000 crores, collected as conversion charges from traders over the last few years. Taking part in the discussion on the sealing drive, labour minister Gopal Rai said that the BJP-led central government should do away with conversion charges, to give relief to traders.
