Administration and infrastructure

The constituency has been in the news[citation needed] for its very poor infrastructure, despite having a popular metro station. The streets have small drains, which cause the sewers to overflow after just a few minutes of rain. The lack of basic infrastructure cause some people to believe that Mundka is one of the most corrupt constituencies in Delhi.[citation needed] Gajendra Singh Daral is the current municipal councillor.[citation needed]

The village has its own community center, library, parks, and government primary school and high school.[citation needed] It is also a central point for aeronautical colleges and Delhi Metro Depot.[citation needed]
