Expressing concern over the dumping of onion and garlic peels into drains after sorting, the Commissioner directed officials to clear the waste immediately and take strict action against violators.
He also pulled up officials over garbage accumulation on the main road near Adarsh Nagar Metro Station and ordered the installation of additional dustbins at suitable locations without disrupting traffic. He stressed that waste must not be allowed to pile up on major roads.
He inspected the PWD pumping station in Jahangirpuri H-Block, the drain along Shah Alam Bandh Road, and ongoing desilting work near Majlis Park Metro Station and Jahangirpuri G-Block. He directed officials to complete desilting.
