MCD signs MoU with NGO to clean Delhi before CWGs

In the view of upcoming Commonwealth Games, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi(MCD) has signed an MoU of cleanliness with an NGO on the assurance that it will maintain the tidiness in the Capital with only 10 per cent of the total workforce in the capital. The task has been given to ''Nyaya Bhoomi'', an NGO run by Col B B Sharan, who has signed the MoU with MCD Commissioner K S Mehra.

Talking to presspersons yesterday, he said, ''The NGO will, with the help of 600 government karamcharies, maintain the cleanliness of the city and soon make it the sparkling Capital at par with the other International cities.'' ''I asked Mr Mehra to give me only 10 per cent of the existing workforce, which is 600 out of existing six thousand safai karamcharies in the capital, on trial basis and I will ensure that each one works and keeps the city clean,'' he said.

''There are 272 wards in the capital and about six thousand workers are appointed to clean the roads but we hardly see any worker doing the job,'' Col Sharan said. ''We see filth lying all over the roads and drains are full of clogging water. All we want is volunteers from public to get the work done from these Karamcharies,'' he said. The resident welfare associations could come forward to take up the job. The public should come forward on its own to support the cause.

Our organisation is committed to get the work done from the babus who are getting salary from the public exchequer but are not delivering. He requested the public to come forward and support the movement.
