Govt. agencies must coordinate to get rid of city's garbage: CM
The Hindu Bureau Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday emphasised that full coordination among all government agencies is needed to achieve a garbage-free Capital as she took part in an ongoing month-long cleanliness drive in the Timarpur area of north Delhi. The 'Dilli Ko Kude Se Azaadi' campaign seeks to mobilise citizens across the Capital to take collective responsibility for their surroundings and improve urban sanitation. Ms. Gupta also announced the launch of the upcoming 'Swachhata Challenge' aimed at deepening community engagement and inspiring public participation through the involvement of prominent personalities and celebrities. 'The initiative will symbolically begin with the nomination of 78 citizens to mark the 78th year of India's independence. Each nominee will further nominate five more individuals, creating a multiplying network of cleanliness champions,' she said. Celebrities will also be enlisted to boost the campaign's visibility and motivate people, especially the youth. 'The spirit of public participation lies at the heart of our mission,' Ms. Gupta said.

Cleanliness drive ‘Dilli ko kude se azaadi' launched
New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday wielded a broom to kick off the Delhi government's month-long cleanliness drive 'Dilli Ko Kude Se Azaadi'. As part of the campaign she visited the Women and Child Development department. 'I am coming to this office for the first time. It is saddening to see that our officers work in this kind of a building. The fans can fall off any moment and the roof is leaking,' she rued as she inspected the department's office at Kashmiri Gate. CM Gupta visited every nook and corner of the office, cleared e-waste, threw away old posters and files and swept the dirty area using a broom. 'There was a fire at this building in 2021 yet no repairs were carried out,' she added. Hitting out at the previous AAP government in Delhi, she said they 'spent crores of rupees on building Sheesh Mahal' but did not do anything to improve the condition of government offices. 'Today, looking at the condition of this office, I am saddened. From today itself, we will begin the process for a new Secretariat where all departments can be housed. We will identify a site for building a new Secretariat,' she added. Talking about the campaign, she said it began with all departments cleaning their offices. 'We removed e-waste, old files and junk that was lying here. We also need to relook at rules governing tenders for waste removal,' she said.
