City tells cooperatives to lead cleanliness drives, experts and residents raise feasibility concerns

We are acting on war footing. Cleanliness drives will happen twice daily. Every dist magistrate and senior official will be held accountable. We want people to see real change

NEW DELHI: As part of its ambitious 20-day citywide sanitation campaign under the "Swachh Delhi, Vikshit Delhi" banner, the Delhi government has directed all cooperative societies in the capital to organise cleanliness drives and submit photographic evidence of their participation.

The campaign comes amid Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's larger mission titled 'Badal Rahi Hai Dilli', which promises a visible transformation of public spaces across the city.

The directive, issued by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, is applicable to a wide range of bodies including cooperative housing societies, consumer cooperatives, urban cooperative banks, and multi-state federations.
