Delhi Moves to Decriminalise Minor Civic Offences: What It Means for Residents and Businesses
The Government has introduced a new bill in Parliament aimed at changing how minor civic offences are treated in Delhi. The proposed law, part of the Jan Vishwas Bill 2026, focuses on decriminalising several small violations and replacing harsher punishments like imprisonment with financial penalties. The move will apply to areas under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
