Recently, Keshavpuram was carved out as a new zone while City and Sadar-Paharganj zones of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation were merged into a single entity.
After the redrawing of the boundaries, the Civil Lines area now falls under the Keshavpuram Zone.
"Since the Civil Line area does not fall under its eponymous zone anymore, the name of the zone is not suitable. And, Mukherjee Nagar falls within the jurisdiction of the zone, so, it will be appropriate to name it after that area ('Mukherjee Nagar Zone')," reads the resolution passed by the NDMC House.
The NDMC has a total of 104 wards spread over six zones.

In response to another private member resolution, the House proposed that the mayor be authorised to decide whether Ramlila Maidan can be alloted free of cost to religious and social organisation for hosting programmes which are in the interest of the society.
