Gupta Launches Citywide Sanitation Drive, Orders Najafgarh Drain Wall and Waste Rerouting

The push forms part of the Meri Dilli – Meri Zimmedari campaign to tighten civic oversight through coordinated field checks and immediate directives.

Overview

  • Inspecting stretches near the Najafgarh drain, the chief minister directed boundary walls to curb illegal dumping, set dust-control measures, and set timelines for road, drainage and lighting fixes.
  • Ministers fanned out across multiple constituencies under the campaign, pairing inspections with on-the-spot corrections and closer monitoring of sanitation and pollution hotspots.
  • In Janakpuri, Ashish Sood ordered diversion of excess waste to Rajapuri, expansion of the dumping site using adjacent land, and a gate shift to improve handling and access.
  • Sood reprimanded MCD and PWD officials, mandated lane-wise daily garbage pickup with resident logs, and ordered immediate removal of construction debris to the C&D waste plant.
  • MP Praveen Khandelwal said ₹500 crore in development projects have been approved for inspected areas, while Sood alleged long-running collusion by a ‘garbage mafia’ with some contractors.
