Came across heaps of debris with winds billowing a thick cloud of dust?

Now you can register your complaint on the MCD-311 mobile phone application as Municipal Department Delhi (MCD) has begun to crack whip on open disposal of construction waste to curb the air pollution.

So far, there is no mechanism for sustainable disposal of construction and demolition waste.

It is mandated that such waste should be recycled and disposed in a manner in which it doesn't interact with the wind.
