The New Delhi Municipal Council on Wednesday unveiled a blueprint designed to advance urban sanitation and women's safety, highlighted by its approval of eco-friendly mechanical road sweepers and dedicated 'Pink Toilets' for women in various markets across the city.
In addressing the media, NDMC Vice Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal emphasized the replacement of the existing outdated fleet with five new CNG-operated sweepers, funded under Central Pollution Control Board guidelines.
