Questions have been raised many times before regarding the cleanliness system in Delhi. This inspection done by the chief minister has again raised serious questions on the functioning of the Municipal Corporation. The public has often complained about the indifference of the Municipal Corporation regarding cleanliness and garbage management in Delhi. The lack of proper cleaning of drains in Pitampura area is promoting mosquitoes and diseases. Dirt and waterlogging increase the risk of dengue, malaria and other diseases. The problem of waterlogging and dirt arises every year in delhi during the rainy season, but the Municipal Corporation fails to fix the cleanliness system in time.
