Earlier, the civic agency launched a special cleanliness and awareness campaign at Sarojini Nagar Market -- one of the most vibrant and high-footfall markets in the NDMC area.

An awareness campaign was also launched for single use plastic ban, segregation of waste at source and reduce, reuse and recycling (RRR) of waste amongst the shopkeepers with the aim to make the market litter-free.

The NDMC also distributed “Litter-Free Area” stickers to all shops across its jurisdiction. Shopkeepers will display these at their entrances to show their commitment to a cleaner and greener city.

The sticker carries key messages of ‘Single Use Plastic is Banned, Choose Eco-Friendly Alternatives’ and ‘Use the Dustbin – Don’t Litter’.

An official said the NDMC has aimed to make all its areas litter-free. This is a vital step towards bringing about behaviour change among citizens, and shopkeepers will play a key role in sensitising the public.
