Ghonda MLA Ajay Mahawar, local municipal councillor, and district administration officials were also present. The Minister, along with the local teams, inspected the cleanliness arrangements in the area and issued necessary directions.

During the programme, Mishra said that from today the entire cabinet and all MLAs are launching a comprehensive cleanliness campaign in every ward of Delhi. “Areas with severe garbage issues will receive special cleaning and continuous monitoring,” he said.

He further said that he has been given the responsibility for North-East Delhi and the trans-Yamuna regions. “The administration has identified 37 hotspots in the area. We will visit these places daily to review the cleanliness status and ensure that the campaign progresses consistently and effectively. Daily morning monitoring of these garbage hotspots will be done, and corrective measures will be taken,” he added.

He further stated that previous governments neglected several issues related to roads, traffic lights, and sanitation for years. “But now, all ministers and MLAs will inspect various areas daily and receive morning reports on cleanliness progress. With the cooperation of the municipal corporation, district administration, and local representatives, this cleanliness campaign is a crucial step toward making Delhi clean, safe, and well-functioning.”

Speaking about the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections, Mishra said that the victory in Bihar represents the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies and his direct connection with the people. “Those who spread falsehoods against the country and the armed forces, and try to divide society, are repeatedly given a clear message by the public—and will continue to receive it,” he said.

On security arrangements, he said that security agencies remain vigilant. “Terrorist elements may attempt anything out of frustration, but they can neither intimidate Delhi nor affect the nation’s security.”
