By establishing debris collection points, MCD aims to streamline waste disposal processes and promote responsible construction practices among builders and contractors. Additionally, the initiative aligns with the government's broader efforts to address environmental challenges and improve the overall quality of life for Delhi's residents. Through collaborative efforts between authorities, stakeholders, and the public, MCD seeks to create a cleaner and healthier environment for all citizens. Overall, the establishment of debris collection points represents a proactive step towards mitigating pollution and enhancing sustainability in Delhi's urban landscape.
