Delhi CM Sets 2026 Target to Clear Landfills Under '2047' Vision

Her New Year video message frames 2025 as groundwork, with pledges to finish welfare and environmental projects next year.

Overview

  • Rekha Gupta said initiatives launched this year will be taken forward in 2026 as part of a longer “2047” agenda for the capital.
  • She pledged to eliminate Delhi’s garbage “mountains” in 2026, with Hindustan Times reporting a target to flatten landfill sites at Okhla, Ghazipur and Bhalswa.
  • Cited welfare steps included free treatment up to Rs 10 lakh under Ayushman Bharat, Rs 5 meals through Atal Canteens, and a new education bill aimed at curbing heavy school fees.
  • Environmental actions highlighted for 2025 included end-to-end road carpeting, mechanized road cleaning and strict checks on stubble burning, alongside the launch of the first biogas plant and the start of an e-waste plant process.
