High drama unfolded in the national capital as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi House turned into a battleground over pollution and the release of funds. A physical scuffle broke out among councillors, with leaders resorting to violent brawls, trading blows, and throwing bags at a woman leader. The chaos forced the Delhi Mayor to be escorted out of the House. A councillor questioned the physical violence, stating that fights should be fought with words rather than coming to blows, and asserted that seeking funds for public work across wards is a right and not begging.
