Make city garbage-free before CWG: Mayor to Municipal Commissioner

Delhi Mayor Kanwar Sain today directed the Delhi Municipal Commissioner to make the national capital garbage-free before Commonwealth Games.

Asking to prepare a Master Plan for achieving the goals, Mr Sain said, ''MCD should launch a double-prong strategy to deal with the situation.'' He advised that besides educating people through its sanitation awareness campaign, MCD should set deterrents and intensify actions to discourage those who spread unsanitary conditions in the capital.

Mr Sain also urged Municipal Magistrates to pay special attention in this regard.

Impressing upon Delhi Government to clear Delhi Cleanliness and Sanitation Byelaws, 2009, pending with it for the last six months, he said MCD had approved it in May 2009 and subsequently sent it for approval of and notification by the Delhi Government.

The proposed byelaws seek a fine of Rs 200 for littering, spitting, urinating, washing utensils in public places and for not keeping a house lane clean.
