Delhi Mayor Dr. Shelly Oberoi chaired a high-level meeting with top officials to tackle the pressing issue of Garbage Vulnerable Points (GVP) in the city. The meeting, attended by the Additional Commissioner, DEMS, and Deputy Commissioners of all 12 zones, aimed to eradicate GVPs permanently.
Mayor Dr. Oberoi emphasized the need for twice-daily monitoring of GVP points to ensure their elimination. During the meeting, she reviewed all GVP points, discussed related issues, and received status reports from concerned officials.
During the meeting The Mayor instructed the Deputy Commissioners to beautify the eliminated GVPs and to install dustbins and close the area with sheets. She further directed to put up signage at GVPs that challans will be issued in case of throwing garbage at these points. The mayor ordered that GVPs should be cleaned in morning and evening. She also asked to increase the number of auto tippers.
This move is part of Mayor Oberoi’s broader initiative to clean Delhi within two months, with special cleanliness campaigns in each zone. The Mayor has pledged to thoroughly clean each ward, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for Delhi’s residents.
