MCD removes GK-I site from list of debris dumps
NEW DELHI: A day after TOI reported how malba or construction debris was being dumped at GK-I's R block by MCD, the civic body claimed on Wednesday that it was not dumping any Commonwealth Games-related debris there.
Contrary to what people at the site, including residents and cops, had told TOI on Tuesday, MCD blamed builders, private contractors and local residents for the mess.
However, with the lieutenant-governor's office breathing down its neck on the issue, MCD announced in the same breath that it was dropping the site from its list of dumping grounds for debris. MCD workers were seen cleaning up the area and putting up a notice board announcing the decision.
It is learnt that LG's OSD Ranjan Mukherjee discussed the matter with MCD commissioner K S Mehra and the deputy commissioner of the area and asked them to clean up the site.
