The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) kicked off a major 20-day cleanliness campaign on Monday, aimed at revitalizing Delhi's public spaces through community effort. Led by NDMC Chairperson Keshav Chandra, the initiative starts between Mandi House Circle and Bengali Market.

Underlining the importance of a clean environment, Chairperson Chandra highlighted the campaign's alignment with Prime Minister's vision and the recent directives from the LG and CM to beautify the city.
