Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has issued a directive to civic agencies to initiate a Dust-Free Delhi Drive over the next week, with an intention to convert it into a year-long effort, according to Raj Niwas officials.

Responding to this directive, the Aam Aadmi Party asserted that Delhi Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj had already convened a meeting on this issue earlier and criticized Saxena for trying to garner credit.

The Governor stressed the importance of preemptive action to tackle air pollution and has engaged agencies like the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Public Works Department to undertake extensive road and drain cleaning operations immediately.
