As part of this initiative, deputy commissioners have been instructed to assign a senior officer, at least an executive engineer (EE) or above from the engineering side, and an administrative officer (AO) or above from the administration side, to oversee the night sweeping operations in each zone.
These officers will be responsible for inspecting the night sweeping activities and ensuring that the markets are clean and tidy.

The civic body stressed that it is committed to provide a clean and healthy environment for its citizens, and this initiative is a step in that direction, and the corporation is confident that with the cooperation of market associations and the public, it can achieve its goal of making Delhi’s markets cleaner and more hygienic.
