  3. C.Only the New Delhi Municipal Council
  4. D.Delhi Jal Board and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation

Correct answer

B. NDMC, MCD and DDA

Explanation

The correct answer is NDMC, MCD and DDA, that is the New Delhi Municipal Council, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Delhi Development Authority, whose senior officials took part along with officers of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Options A and C are wrong because each names only one of the three bodies, and the whole point of the workshop was to put every agency on one platform; the organisers noted that functionaries from the top of the system to the lowest rung came together for the first time on such a platform. Option D names two utilities that were not listed among the participants. Alongside the agencies, the participants included sanitation inspectors, supervisors and urban local body officials, whose first-hand account of daily operational obstacles was the reason for holding the session in this form.
