A cleanliness drive was carried out in the Bawana JJ Colony by Delhi’s Minister for Social Welfare and SC/ST/OBC Welfare Ravinder Indraj Singh here on Wednesday with an appeal to the people to actively participate in the ‘Freedom from Waste for Delhi’ campaign.
Addressing the gathering, the Cabinet minister stated that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has taken the form of a people’s movement across the country. “The people of Delhi are also giving new direction to this movement by keeping their surroundings free from filth and garbage,” he said.

Stating that during the tenure of previous governments, waste was considered a major challenge for environment and public health, the cabinet minister said, “Now, waste is no longer just refuse—it is fuel for development. Recently inaugurated Urban Extension Road has been constructed using waste-based materials. Through Waste-to-Energy and other upcoming plants in Delhi, garbage will now be converted into electricity and fuel, playing a key role in both environmental protection and energy production.”
“With government initiatives, pollution will be reduced, households and vehicles will get fuel, electricity generation will increase, and roads will be built. This will mark a milestone in the journey of building a developed Delhi,” he went on to add.
The social welfare minister urged citizens not to dump garbage in vacant plots, drains, or streets, but to dispose of it only in dustbins and municipal collection vehicles. He further called upon students to become ambassadors of cleanliness, spreading awareness within their families and communities to prevent littering. Local committees and private organizations were also encouraged to treat cleanliness as a collective social responsibility.
Indraj further emphasized that cleanliness activities being carried out with public participation are not merely a campaign but a commitment to make Delhi a clean, healthy, and developed capital.
