New Delhi, March 21 -- A day after the Municipal Corporation of Delhi finalised budgetary allocations for various sectors for the next financial year, the Shikshak Nyay Manch Nagar Nigam, a teachers' union, on Thursday alleged that maintenance funds for the ongoing fiscal were yet to be released even though the current financial year will end on March 31.

In response, MCD said that its schools receive funds from the Union and Delhi governments to carry out maintenance.

"Assessment of funds for the last year is going on... Schools will send the report regarding scope of the repairs so that duplicity of the work can be avoided." htc
