NEW DELHI: On Friday, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) launched a large-scale initiative to combat dust pollution and improve cleanliness in key residential and commercial areas.
According to NDMC, multiple departments are collaborating on this effort. An official statement highlighted active involvement from the three core departments: Public Health (Sanitation), Horticulture, and Civil Engineering, ensuring a thorough execution.
A spokesperson mentioned that NDMC teams engaged in mechanized sweeping, silt removal from side channels, essential repairs, and maintenance of green spaces.
