Wishing Mr. Khirwar all the best. The priorities sound good on paper, but we've heard similar promises before. The real test will be on the ground – will the parks be cleaner and will property tax payments become simpler?

His experience in environment and revenue is crucial for Delhi. Hope he tackles the landfill sites and streamlines the building plan approval process. The city is watching.

As a resident, my main request is for consistent and reliable civic services. No more waterlogging in my colony every monsoon, please! Hoping the new commissioner delivers.

Financial self-reliance for MCD is a tall order. It's been a financial mess for years. Will need strong political backing and tough decisions. Let's see if he has the will.

A B.Tech in Computer Science background is promising! Maybe we'll finally get a functional MCD app to report issues instead of running from pillar to post. Fingers crossed!
