Lt Governor Anil Baijal today directed the three municipal corporations to submit an action plan for zero-landfill site waste and asked them to ensure processing of all waste generated in the city.

Baijal also told them to put up display boards on roads under their jurisdiction with contact details of the officials responsible for their maintenance.

The orders came during a review meeting, chaired by the Lt Governor, with senior officials of the three civic bodies. 

The Lt Governor has also asked municipal corporations to redevelop and beautify at least one market in each ward and also incentivise shopkeepers for keeping their surroundings clean.

“Had a review meeting with MCDs. All roads under them to display boards with contact details of the officer responsible for its maintenance,” the Lt Governor tweeted.

In another tweet, Baijal said, “One market in each ward to be redeveloped & beautified. Shopkeepers to be incentivised for keeping their surroundings clean.”
