Delhi has been divided into 12 zones by AAP and the responsibility of three zones each to four senior leaders on Saturday, a party statement said.

To understand the problems of local residents, these four leaders will coordinate with the councilor of their zones, hold meetings and visit their areas to solve them.

The 12 zones are Civil Lines, Rohini, Najafgarh, Narela, Keshavpuram, West Zone, Sadar, Karol Bagh, Shahdara North, Central, South and Shahdara South, on Saturday, an official statement stated.

The Aam Aadmi Party take this decision after wrested power from the BJP in civil polls in the national capital. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party bagged 134 of the 250 wards while the BJP won 104.

 Adil Khan AAP leader will be in charge of Civil Lines, Rohini and Najafgarh while Saurabh Bhardwaj will oversee Narela, Keshavpuram and West Zone.

The responsibility of Sadar, Karol Bagh and Shahdara North will be with Durgesh Pathak and Central, South and Shahdara South will be with Atishi, it said.

“It was not possible for one person to coordinate with all the councillors and therefore the responsibility has now been divided between four people. All the councillors will be in direct contact with these four senior AAP leaders and will get their assistance in resolving the problems of their areas,” it said.

A report will be prepared by these senior leaders on councillors, to include them in the committee on the basis of which decision will be taken ahead, it added.
