Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday said the fight against pollution continues unabated as a people’s movement to ensure a healthy and clean environment for the residents of the city.
Gupta, taking to social media platform X, shared pictures of the cleanliness campaign underway across various parts of the city, showing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ situation of the places where the work was being done. With the use of modern technology, along with robust systems and active public support, she said the government is making every front to contain pollution and enhance cleanliness across the national capital.
Meanwhile, the city witnessed an improvement in the air quality index (AQI) by 26 points in comparison to that of Saturday, which was recorded at 279, stepping down from ‘very poor’ to now ‘poor’ category, as per the Central Pollution Control Board.
The chief minister also shared that on Sunday, she, along with her family, fulfilled their democratic duty by voting in the MCD by-elections. She said voting is an integral part of the sacred democratic process and the active participation from people strengthens democratic values. Through vote, one can help elect the right and suitable representative, which further takes the development in the right direction.
Hence, she appealed to the voters to come out in large numbers to exercise their right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
