Delhi’s Cleanliness Campaign Grows Into A People’s Movement

Delhi has started a large campaign to make the city cleaner.

The campaign began on August 17 and will continue until October 2, 2026.

Government officials say many people are helping clean homes, streets, markets and neighborhoods.

The campaign also encourages safer and more scientific ways to manage garbage.

In Punjabi Bagh, city workers cleaned a densely populated settlement and nearby roads.

They removed about 17 tonnes of garbage.

Workers also cleaned drains, trimmed some trees and removed temporary encroachments.

Officials hope that continued teamwork will make Delhi healthier and easier to live in.
