Amidst the bustling capital, Delhi reinvigorated its cleanliness efforts with a stern warning from Social Welfare Minister Ravinder Indraj Singh. The minister pledged decisive action against those defacing public walls with unauthorized posters, reinforcing Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's earlier directive against such activities.
During the campaign, BJP's Delhi President Virendraa Sachdeva highlighted initiatives involving sanitation workers and citizens at 33 locations across the city. The drive, under the Sewa Pakhwada banner, aims to integrate cleanliness into the city's ethos, with senior officials participating and rallying support from the public.
CM Gupta also employed a personal appeal to politicians, asking them to refrain from using her image on poster campaigns. The initiative not only focuses on cleanliness but also sanctions the extended use of loudspeakers for cultural events, signifying flexibility and respect for festive traditions.
