CM joins 'Kude Se Azadi' campaign in Sanjay Basti
New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday took part in the ongoing cleanliness campaign, 'Kude Se Azadi', in Delhi's Timarpur area and urged residents to take collective responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean. The programme was held in Sanjay Basti. Gupta, who was accompanied by the local MLA Surya Prakash Khatri, said public representatives across Delhi are working closely with resident welfare associations, NGOs and religious organisations to ensure cleanliness in their respective areas. "Today morning, I came across a video of a young boy cleaning a bus stand in Delhi. It was heartening to see such awareness. If every citizen begins to consider Delhi's cleanliness as their own responsibility, no one can stop the city from becoming truly clean," the chief minister said. She also inspected JJ Colony, reviewed the condition of DDA flats in the area and interacted with residents. She said directions have been issued to the departments concerned regarding the necessary development work to be carried out in a timely manner. The month-long 'Kude Se Azadi' campaign was launched on August 1 and is being run across the national capital to promote community participation for improving sanitation and waste management in the city.

DU's U-Special buses may return with new upgrades
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday announced the relaunch of the U-Special bus service around Delhi University, reviving a transport option once central to student life. The announcement was made during the inauguration of the new academic block at DU's Social Centre School. Aimed at easing daily commutes for university students, the relaunched service will feature buses operating on DU routes with added features like onboard music, ambient lighting and air-conditioning to enhance the experience. "This is my gift to the students," said Gupta while addressing the crowd. "Back in our college days, that bus felt like our own — no one else could enter. Over time, those buses disappeared. But today, Delhi govt is bringing them back," she said.

Reinforcing the govt's commitment, he added, "Our priority is to democratise education — to ensure it is accessible and equitable across Delhi." Singh encouraged students to adopt a solution-oriented mindset. "Be problem solvers, not complainers," he about the new academic block, Singh said, "This building was completed in just 21 months at a cost of Rs 21 crore." Emphasising the need for value-based education, he added, "We must create an ecosystem that promotes country-first thinking among students, rather than self-centred ambition. That's something we've been missing for the past 75 years."
