How clean is the capital New Delhi? Nearly 38,000 complaints have been made by the public over 10 days via the 'Swachch Delhi' mobile app since its launch. The municipal corporations claim to have attended to 75 percent of the grievances.

The 'Swachch Delhi Abhiyan' is a sanitation-cum-cleanliness drive that sought to rid the city of garbage and construction material waste and it had been launched on November 22 and concluded on Monday. The campaign had brought Centre, the AAP government and the BJP-led corporations on one platform because cleanliness is a common cause.

South Delhi received around 14,485 complaints via the app and they took action on more than 8,828 of them.
East Delhi received over 12,000 complaints and about 75-80 per cent of them were responded and the garbage was collected.
North Delhi received around 11,478 complaints and close to 80 per cent of them (8,992) were replied and action was taken.
Daily garbage collection in Delhi is normally 3,200 metric tonne and it has risen to over 3500 metric tonne per day while the 'malba' collection also increased by over 15 per cent.
