Mayor Pravesh Wahi on Monday carried out an inspection of sanitation arrangements and ongoing development works in the Karol Bagh Zone, directing officials to prioritise cleanlines.
Despite the intense summer heat, the Mayor visited several locations across the zone to assess civic infrastructure and sanitation measures. Area councillor Manish Chadha, Karol Bagh Zone Deputy Commissioner Dilkhush Meena and other senior Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials accompanied him during the inspection.
The Mayor closely reviewed sanitation arrangements in the Chuna Mandi area on Rajguru Road and appealed to shopkeepers and residents to cooperate with civic authorities in maintaining cleanliness. He urged people to dispose of waste in designated dustbins rather than littering roads and public spaces.
During the visit, Wahi interacted with local residents and assured them that complaints and suggestions relating to civic issues would be addressed promptly. In a symbolic gesture aimed at promoting cleanliness awareness, the Mayor picked up garbage from the road and disposed of it in a dustbin. He also joined sanitation workers in sweeping the area.
“Public participation is essential for building a clean Delhi and every citizen must fulfil their responsibility towards maintaining cleanliness,” Wahi said.
He directed officials to ensure the highest standards of sanitation and maintain regular monitoring across the zone. “Any kind of negligence or laxity will not be tolerated,” he added.
As part of the inspection, the Mayor also visited the Panchkuian Road Crematorium and reviewed progress on the under-construction CNG platform and other ongoing development works. He instructed officials to complete the projects within the stipulated timelines while maintaining quality standards.
Wahi also inspected the Panchkuian Road Fixed Compactor Transfer Station and reviewed waste management arrangements there. He said the MC was taking continuous steps to modernise and mechanise Delhi’s sanitation system.
According to the Mayor, the civic body is strengthening sanitation services by deploying modern equipment such as mechanical sweepers and litter pickers.
