MCD Deploys 56 New Sanitation Vehicles in Narela Zone
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Wednesday added 56 sanitation vehicles to its Narela zone to strengthen waste management and improve cleanliness in the national capital. Delhi Mayor Pravesh Wahi flagged off the fleet at Ramlila Ground in Narela, in the presence of North West Delhi MP Yogender Chandolia and other civic representatives.
Composition of the New Fleet
The new fleet comprises 32 auto-tippers, 16 Hyva trucks, and eight JCB machines. With this deployment, the MCD has now added sanitation vehicles in four zones—Narela, Rohini, Shahdara North, and Shahdara South. Similar deployments are planned for the remaining zones, according to the civic body.
Mayor's Directives and Vision
Wahi directed the Narela zone administration to ensure proper use of the vehicles and emphasized that garbage should not be visible on major roads. Highlighting Narela's location as an entry point to Delhi from Haryana and Punjab, he said the area should reflect the standards expected of the national capital. The Mayor reiterated the MCD's commitment to the Centre's Swachh Bharat Mission and the Delhi Government's vision of a clean and green city.
Call for Resident Participation
Wahi urged residents to support sanitation efforts by segregating household waste into four categories before handing it over to collection vehicles. MP Yogender Chandolia said cleanliness was a shared responsibility and appealed to citizens to help keep their surroundings free of waste.
