Centre Directs MCD to Address Waste Accumulation Along Delhi Railway Tracks
The central government has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to clear waste along 18.93 km of railway tracks across 125 locations in Delhi, following concerns raised by the Railway Board about environmental, health, and safety risks. The MCD must survey affected areas within 15 days, prepare an action plan for regular waste collection and prevention, and enforce door-to-door garbage collection in adjoining settlements. The initiative is part of the Centre's Special Campaign 6.0 to address legacy waste and unauthorized dumping near railway lines.
