NEW DELHI: New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has given administrative and financial approval for carrying out cleaning work at major markets, office complexes and inoculation centres using mechanical equipment. It has sanctioned around Rs 10 crore for mechanical sweeping at Palika Bazaar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Place, Palika Bhawan, Yashwant Place Market, Chanakya Bhawan and Kidwai Nagar shopping complex among other places.
“As the manual sweeping system is insufficient to meet high standards, we will outsource the work of cleaning and sweeping of various NDMC buildings, commercial complexes, markets and offices. For improving the quality of services, the council in a recent meeting gave administrative approval and expenditure sanction amounting to Rs 9.75 crore for the work of mechanised housekeeping,” said NDMC vice-chairman Satish Upadhyay.
