Speaking about the initiative, the Mayor of Delhi, Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh, affirmed the MCD’s resolve to eliminate garbage from the city. “Inspired by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and under the leadership of Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, Delhi, is determined to win the fight against waste and build a cleaner, more sustainable future,” he said.

Earlier, on August 1, CM Gupta rolled out a month-long campaign, “Delhi Ko Koode Se Azaadi” to make the national capital clean and free from waste. The Chief Minister led the sanitation mission of Delhi by initiating the cleaning of the premises of Delhi’s women and child department in the Kashmere Gate area, aligning with the Swachh Bharat Mission of the Prime Minister.
