NDMC to night sweep 16 market places from Jan 1

The NDMC will start night sweeping in 16 commercial places in its area on an "experimental" basis from January 1.
Night sweeping in 16 identified market places and roads will be taken up on a "trial" basis to ensure proper sanitation. Huge crowd in morning hours makes sweeping and garbage collection difficult, said Pravesh Wahi, the chairman of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation's Standing Committee.
"Night sweeping will start from January 1," he said.
The 16 identified areas include Jama Masjid, Gaffar Market, Chandni Chowk, Rohini, Ajmal Khan Road, Kamla Market, Model Town II, RG Complex (Prasant Vihar), Main Bazaar (Paharganj), Sadar Bazar, Alipur and Narela, he said.

The departments concerned and officials in the zones have been directed to ensure effective implementation of the initiative, he added.
