GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 16th Nov. Delhi’s newly elected Mayor Mahesh Khinchi and Deputy Mayor Ravinder Bhardwaj initiated their tenure by addressing the pressing issue of garbage accumulation during their first inspection on Saturday.

The duo, accompanied by officials, visited the Vasant Vihar ward to assess the city’s cleanliness efforts and identify problem areas.

Mayor Khinchi emphasized the urgency of tackling waste management, stating, “This is our first official visit after assuming office. We are here to inspect areas with significant garbage build-up, evaluate current arrangements, and identify problems. Resolving these issues is our top priority, and we are committed to taking swift and effective action.”

Deputy Mayor Bhardwaj echoed the sentiment, saying, “Today marks our first inspection after the elections. We are focusing on cleanliness in line with former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s vision for a cleaner Delhi. This includes working with local MLAs, councillors, and MCD officials, as well as engaging with residents to pinpoint areas needing improvement.”

Khinchi and Bhardwaj were elected last Thursday after AAP secured its third term in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Their leadership follows a delayed poll process, resulting in a truncated five-month term.
