Following the complaint, the Mayor directed the officials to clean the entire drain within a week.

Moreover, Kumar stated that the GVP outside Motilal Nehru Camp is being removed and directed officials to take strict action against those throwing garbage at this point.

The Mayor was also informed that cleaning is being done regularly at the main places of the ward.

During the other inspection in the Mehrauli area, he instructed the officials to ensure regular cleaning of the area.

Kumar added that serious efforts are being made by the MCD to eliminate GVP points and the effect of these efforts is visible on the ground.

But a lot of improvement is still required. He said that we are visiting all the wards to ensure cleanliness in Delhi and our aim is to permanently eliminate GVP.
