What is the primary reason behind the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD) decision to shift garbage movement to night hours?
To reduce daytime traffic congestion and public inconvenienceThe MCD identified 431 secondary waste collection points across 12 zones to facilitate night-time garbage transport. This strategy aims to reduce traffic congestion caused by slow-moving garbage trucks during peak hours and minimize public inconvenience. It also addresses hygiene concerns, as daytime accumulation at secondary points often attracts stray animals and causes foul odours. Night clearing ensures waste doesn’t linger, improving local cleanliness. The timing adjustment is especially beneficial in densely populated or commercially active areas with narrow lanes.
