The MCD said to ensure effective implementation, Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of all 12 zones have been directed to take swift action in their respective areas and ensure the thorough removal of waste from parks.
To deter unauthorised dumping, punitive action will also be taken against violators, including fines as prescribed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), it said.
The MCD also called upon to report any instances of illegal waste dumping on ‘MCD 311 app’ to help maintain the city’s cleanliness.
“The Department of Environment Management Services (DEMS), in coordination with the Horticulture Department, will actively monitor the progress of waste removal efforts in parks. Through continuous monitoring and coordinated action, waste will be systematically removed, and green spaces will be enhanced,” the civic body said.
MCD said it is committed to providing a clean and healthy environment for its citizens and added that this initiative is a step in that direction.
The civic body also appealed to citizens to cooperate in keeping Delhi’s parks clean and green.
