There is a way-out

There is a way-out to make Delhi clean. Delhi government started a Bhagidaari Scheme in several sectors. The same with a different model should be tried out here. In this model in each loacality volunteers can be enrolled to monitor on line the cleaning schedule. The involvement of citizens be ensured only for monitoring and not for getting the work actually done. Vounteers can be trained with taking photographs and uploading them on the website. Can there be some other way to do it.

Will Delhi be any cleaner ?

Will Delhi ever be clean? Commonwealth Games have facilitated local government to have big budget to spend on fancy projects in order to make it look like Singapore. A lot many expansion projects are going on. Metro is being paraded as one big success. But I doubt even by the time of the Games, the cleanliness in the city would even marginally be improved. I don't talk of wider important roads. O.K., they look better. Many foreigners only see them. I talk of the city where over 12 million people live. It is pathetic that even when every politician is making all kinds of promises to garner votes to facilitate entry into the Lok Sabha, I don't find any body promising to strive to make capital city cleaner
