The Mayor emphasised the need for twice daily monitoring of GVP points to ensure their elimination.
He directed to beautify the removed GVPs, install dustbins and close the area with sheets. He also asked to put up signage on the GVPs that challans will be issued for dumping garbage at these points.
The Mayor also asked to increase the number of auto tippers.
Stating that the meeting is part of a comprehensive initiative to clean Delhi, in which special cleanliness drives will be run in each zone, he has pledged to thoroughly clean each ward, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for the residents of Delhi.
“By tackling GVPs, the MCD aims to prevent garbage dumping in open spaces, and place flower pots in their place to maintain cleanliness,” the Mayor said.
He urged the citizens to report garbage vulnerable points to the MCD helpline.
“The first priority of the AAP in the MCD is to make Delhi a garbage free city. We are working on a war footing to achieve this goal,” the Mayor added.
