JOIN US"41 specific and strategic sites including the tourist spots near the Commonwealth Games venues are being covered in the cleanliness drive," the civic body said in a statement.
Volunteers of the NGO have been mobilising citizens to take part in its, 'Meri Delhi Meri Yamuna-Clean Delhi Drive', which started in July this year. A special week-long campaign will be held from tomorrow.
Mayor P R Sawhney said that MCD is also supporting Art of Living's efforts to install double dustbins (meant for biodegradable and recyclable waste) across Delhi in MCD areas, besides in mass awareness and cleanliness campaigns throughout the city.
Rashmi Paliwal, Apex Member, Art of Living, said children from at least 340 schools have taken up the project around their schools. "MCD is empowering 10 children per participating school as 'clean Delhi captains' to monitor the adopted sites and to ensure cleanliness on the sites," she said. These clean Delhi captains will be issued identity cards on behalf of MCD.
School-children will join Art of Living volunteers, market associations, RWAs, NGOs, corporates and college students at all 41 strategic points to start the cleanliness drive, she said.
