Singh said through this app, citizens can see the GPS location of garbage-lifting vehicles, register their complaints, and give suggestions to improve the services.
Citizens will be able to download the mobile app through the Google Playstore and Apple store in a few days, the NDMC said.
Chairman of NDMC's Standing Committee Jogi Ram Jain said "we need freedom from garbage to make the city clean" and appealed to everyone to work towards this goal.
Municipal Commissioner Sanjay Goel said to celebrate 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' and to mark the 75th year of Independence, the NDMC has administered a pledge to all municipal school students through online mode to discourage the use of plastic and make others stop using single-use plastic.
