Delhi CM Accelerates Clean Delhi Drive, Adds 50 E-Buses and Breaks Ground on Automated Testing Centre

Overview

• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta reviewed cleanliness operations in Tehkhand and Tughlakabad and ordered waste management to be executed within firm deadlines.
• Officials were directed to prioritise dust control, wall-to-wall road cleaning, mechanical sweeping, water sprinkling, and GPS-based monitoring to reduce manual workload.
• Proposed infrastructure, including a Fixed Compactor Transfer Station and a Construction and Demolition waste collection site in Tehkhand, was inspected with instructions to meet quality standards.
• Gupta laid the foundation for an Automated Testing Centre at the Tekhand DTC depot, targeted to be operational by March next year to test about 72,000 vehicles using advanced systems.
• Fifty new electric buses were added to the DTC fleet to expand cleaner public transport, and a surprise check at the Tughlakabad veterinary hospital led to directives on repairs, cleanliness, and service improvements.
