“This is not a movement for the photo shoot, this, is a movement for cleaning Delhi. We have proper planning for this, this campaign is not for a day or two, it will run for 365 days continuously. To make this happen we have created 3000 teams, a team per 30-40 lanes to look for remains. Teams will monitor each locality and click photos of the remains if there are any and then they will upload it on the MCD App '311' and MCD officials will resolve the issue immediately,” Pathak added.
