Pathak said, "This protest will begin from July 23 and it will have three phases. In the first phase, Jan Jagran Abhiyaan will be organised which will commence from July 23 itself and will be run till July 30. Under this campaign, our workers will visit 50 lakh houses in entire Delhi to raise awareness about the tax hike by the MCD to garner their support. They will also cover landmark points like nukkads, fourways through posters and hoardings. People of Delhi will be prepared to take part against the atrocities of the MCD."
