Delhi Government Expands Waste Management with New Facilities and Equipment

The government approved Rs 445 crore for sanitation services, including new vehicles and equipment, and appointed women drivers for waste collection. Delhi Mayor Pravesh Wahi emphasized waste segregation awareness and distributed dustbins to residents as part of ongoing cleanliness drives.
