Now, ‘click’ and get garbage from the streets ‘cleaned’

If unattended mounds of garbage and littered streets with flies, rats and dogs feasting on the trash bothers you, don’t get upset anymore at the inaction of the civic authorities.

Just click the picture of the garbage on your mobile and upload it on the Click2Clean page on Facebook.

Click2Clean supplements Delhi government’s Swachh Delhi mobile application that works on similar lines.

Click2Clean ensures that a click from your camera or your mobile phone does the magic. The garbage will be removed without knocking at the doors of unresponsive civic body cleaners.

Launched by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) India in October, the Click2Clean campaign has already attracted over 8,500 people to endorse it on Facebook, with many uploading the images of littered sites on facebook.com/clicktoclean. 

According to CAF India Chief Executive Meenakshi Batra, there is an urgent need to clean up Indian cities as the number of people migrating from rural to urban areas continues to surge.

Making India clean and garbage-free became a nationwide movement after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in 2014. Some steps have been taken in this regard, but large parts of India, including Delhi, still remain dirty and filthy.

Delhi now has over 20 million residents, making it the second most populous city in the world. Its inhabitants generate about 10,000 tonnes of rubbish every day.
