Will ensure MCD areas become as clean, beautiful as NDMC zones: Delhi L-G Saxena

Delhi's new leadership aims to transform the city with improved cleanliness, urging citizens to play an active role.

“Delhiites have chosen a new leadership for change, and this transformation will positively impact both the city and its people,” Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena said on Friday (February 14, 2025).

Speaking at the ‘Samvaad with Swachhta Sainiks’ event in New Delhi, he said while some areas, particularly those under the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), are well-maintained, others require significant improvement.

“We will ensure that Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) areas also become as clean and beautiful as NDMC zones,” he said.

The L-G highlighted that keeping Delhi is primarily the responsibility of the MCD, which has a workforce of 50,000 sanitation workers.

Mr. Saxena praised sanitation workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Yamuna floods, and the G20 beautification drive.

He also urged citizens to also play an active role.

“When we see potholes and garbage in the capital, it raises concerns about whether we are truly representing the country’s capital,” he added.
