New Delhi, 4 Dec (UNI) Responding to complaints of residents in West Delhi’s Hari Nagar area about mounting piles of garbage dumped at an officially closed site on the Mangal Pandey Marg, Urban Development Minister Ashish Sood on Thursday directed MCD officials to deploy Civil Defence personnel at the site during night hours to prevent illegal waste disposal.
The minister gave directions to the civic body agencies as he inspected several garbage hotspots in the Hari Nagar assembly constituency.
