In an effort to make the roads of the capital cleaner, safer, and more organized, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is launching a special campaign “One Road – One Day” from 1st September 2025. Under this campaign, one major road in each zone will be completely revamped every day. The Standing Committee has approved the “One Road – One Day” proposal.
Directions for Effective Implementation of the Campaign:
*A nodal officer should be appointed in each zone to prepare the action plan and monitor the implementation of works under the “One Road – One Day” scheme.
*A list of roads in each zone should be prepared, and a priority-wise action plan should be prepared. Suggestions must be taken from local councillors and MLAs to ensure the plan reflects on-ground needs.
*Zonal Deputy Commissioners shall be held accountable, and they must submit weekly progress reports to the Commissioner.
Adequate budgetary provisions must be ensured for proper execution, along with availability of resources such as mechanical sweepers, fogging machines, tree-cutting tools, new street lights, etc.
Photographs and daily progress updates of the revamped roads must be shared on social media platforms to ensure transparency and promote citizen engagement.
Roads under the jurisdiction of other agencies like PWD, where MCD carries out cleaning activities, should also be included in the campaign. MCD will execute works falling under its jurisdiction and officially notify concerned departments for other related issues.
The following works must be mandatorily carried out on each selected road daily:
1. Road repair and topping
2. Footpath leveling and repair
3. Cleaning and beautification of medians and edges
4. Pruning of trees and painting of grills
5. Repair or replacement of signage
