Delhi has been beautified for G20 Summit but Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena is committed to keep the city clean and green.

Saxena participated in a series of clean-up drives in New Delhi as part of the Swachata Hi Seva campaign.

He inspected the cleaning of Shahdara drain and expressed concern over poor upkeep at the Samadhi complex near Rajghat.

Various government departments and agencies also held sanitation drives across the city, with participation from MPs, MLAs, and other officials. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the New Delhi Municipal Council organized special cleanliness drives at multiple locations. BJP national president JP Nadda also participated in the campaign.

Lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Sunday took part in a series of clean-up drives under the nationwide Swachata Hi Seva campaign even as various government departments and agencies held similar sanitation drives across the city.

Saxena participated in the cleaning of Shahdara drain and inspected several sites in east Delhi. He also expressed concern over the alleged poor upkeep at the Samadhi complex near Rajghat. “Participated in the #SwachataHiSeva campaign at the Shahdara Drain and neighbouring areas. Works started last week after my visit to the area, lying in total neglect for the last many years, are progressing satisfactorily. We remain committed to beautify every area of the City on lines with the refurbishing done during G20 Summit, in tandem with all agencies,” he posted on X (formerly twitter).

Saxena, while inspecting the cleaning of Shahadra drain that involved removing silt and debris, said the projects to make Delhi a clean city have started bearing fruits and people will see more encouraging results in the coming days.

He also joined thousands of municipal workers in cleaning roads, pavements and dividers in the region, including Kanti Nagar-Bihari Colony to Bholanath Nagar, Farsh Bazar, Vishwas Nagar, East Azad Nagar Metro Station, and Krishna Nagar Metro Station. Later in the day, he inspected the rejuvenation drive of the Shahdara Drain (Trunk Drain 1), which is operated by the irrigation and flood control department.
