She said there are a lot of hoardings, wallpapers, stickers, all over Delhi, giving it a shabby look.
“It is, therefore, desired that you may pass an order under the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 2007 and give instructions to officials to take appropriate action to make Delhi neat and clean before Diwali festival,” the Mayor said.
