Senior officials and cabinet ministers joined the drive, along with teams from multiple government departments and agencies.

Gupta swept the roadside and participated in water-sprinkling operations during the drive.

She said the initiative forms part of a broader strategy to reduce dust emission from Delhi roads, which are considered a major contributor to the Capital's pollution.

“For the first time in Delhi's history, a washing campaign has been carried out across the entire Ring Road. Our government is taking a new step forward every single day to combat pollution. Regular road washing, mechanical sweeping and on-ground monitoring are being undertaken across the city with great speed and seriousness,” chief minister Gupta said.
