Property tax rebate extension is good but what about improving basic services? My colony still has garbage piling up every alternate day. Committees should focus on ground realities.

25 agenda items passed in first meeting? Either they're super efficient or just rubber stamping proposals. Would love to see the actual details of these decisions. Transparency please!

As an expat in Delhi, I appreciate the WhatsApp groups initiative. Last monsoon was chaotic with no proper communication. Small digital steps can make big difference in civic management.

Action Taken Reports should be made public on MCD website. We citizens have right to know what's being done with our tax money. Hope this isn't just another 'chai pe charcha' meeting.

Good start but execution is key. Every year we hear about monsoon prep but water logging still happens. New pumps are welcome but maintain them properly this time! #DelhiRains
