In Delhi, decision-makers, ministers, government officials, judges, top defence officials, journalists, industrialists and others of the upper crust live in Lutyens' hallowed precincts that come under the New Delhi Municipal Corporation, the country's richest and best-maintained municipality. Roughly 5 per cent of the capital lives here; the remaining 93 per cent (2 per cent is cantonment board) just about live in what is the territory of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (mcd): a bulky, corrupt and inefficient organisation, infamous as a politicians' backyard where rulers make their money quietly without much ideological fuss.
