Overview
- More than 1,400 tonnes of post-Diwali waste were collected and processed before sunrise, according to the latest municipal update.
- Safai Mitras and Integrated Waste Management teams began at 3 am, tackling crowded markets first before moving into colonies and narrow lanes.
- A fleet that included 23 mechanised cleaning machines, tractors and dumpers moved waste to GTS locations for time-bound transfer to processing centers.
- All cleaning vehicles were monitored in real time through the Integrated Command and Control Center to keep the overnight operation on schedule.
- Senior officials supervised on the ground, with Municipal Commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav and the Additional Commissioner conducting field checks, as NGOs supported door-to-door collection and the mayor flagged dustbins and roadside spots as the toughest challenge.
