Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi on Wednesday said a sanitation-related drive will be run across all 12 civic zones from the first week of January till February end, during which "marathon inspections" will be conducted to enhance the city's cleanliness.
Addressing a press conference at the Civic Centre, she said all garbage vulnerable points that have been removed will also be inspected.Garbage vulnerable points are open places where trash is dumped regularly.
Ahead of the G20 Summit, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had announced a plan to identify all garbage vulnerable points and clear those in a timely manner.
Oberoi had then said all zonal deputy commissioners of the MCD were directed to take action in this regard.
The Ab Delhi Hogi Saaf -- a citywide cleanliness drive -- was also started by the civic body on August 12.
On December 29, Oberoi held a meeting with civic officials to review the work on the removal of garbage vulnerable points.
Orders were issued that such points be identified and removed. These have largely been removed, she said and added nodal officers have been appointed in all zones for the job.
"Now, we are taking this sanitation campaign forward. We held a meeting yesterday (on Tuesday) with officials, the municipal commissioner, deputy commissioners of all 12 zones ... An action plan has been readied under this campaign," Oberoi said.
