In a bid to address pressing cleanliness issues in the national capital, newly appointed Mayor Mahesh Kumar Khinchi and Deputy Mayor Ravinder Bhardwaj embarked on their first official inspection on Saturday along with officials.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta on Wednesday said the sanitation system in the national capital has completely “collapsed” under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Saturday said that it has cleared over 18000 metric tons of construction and demolition waste from prominent locations across the national capital during a drive conducted in the month of October.
She also raised concerns about the shortage of sanitation workers, particularly during the festival season, and instructed officials to ensure daily waste collection in densely populated neighborhoods.
Aam Aadmi Party national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday alleged that the BJP has wrongly bagged the last seat of the standing committee in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Friday.
The election to the standing committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was postponed as the House meeting was adjourned by Mayor Shelly Oberoi, until October 5 on Thursday following the chaos over the decision to ban mobile phones in the House before the beginning of the elections.
“MCD took up the task of removing the silt, construction and demolition waste in all its 12 Zones, and removed 404.65 MT of such waste on September 24 and 1249.08 MT on September 25,” the LG office said here on Thursday.
Oberoi emphasized the urgency of improving sanitation, particularly in the Central Zone, Civil Lines, West Zone, Shahdara North, and Shahdara South Zones.
The drive was carried out along the Desh Bandhu Gupta Road in the Karol Bagh Zone, in which the temporary structures and platforms were removed with the help of local police, resulting in the improvement of cleanliness for the residents in the area.
