AAP councilor and MLA, yet garbage heaps line the streets! Images of blocks 11, 2 and 16 have put the promised cleanliness scheme under the spotlight.

Local residents say that due to the litter, the smell and mosquito-bug problem are increasing. Children and the elderly are also being affected. In such a scenario, this issue is not limited to aesthetics or cleanliness alone, but also becomes linked to public health and the daily lives of citizens.

Accountability must be established from the MCD to the elected representatives.

The photographs of Kalyanpuri pose a direct question before the MCD administration and local representatives. If garbage is being collected regularly, why are there such large piles along the roadside? If complaints are acted upon immediately, why do residents have to repeatedly complain about the litter? And if the area's cleaning arrangement is adequate, what story do these pictures of Blocks 11, 2, and 16 tell?

Winning elections in a democracy marks the beginning of responsibility, not its end. The public chose their representatives so that they would raise these issues and ensure solutions. The people do not just want assurances; they want clean roads outside their homes, timely garbage collection, and better civic amenities.

Now it is not about social media, but about work on the ground.

These photographs of Kalyanpuri have raised a very important question. Activism on social media has its place, but the true test of an elected representative is on the ground in their constituency. If such photographs are emerging among the public, instead of ignoring them, the responsible departments and local representatives should step forward, clarify the situation, and show action.

Now we have to see what steps the MCD administration will take after these photographs come to light and what responses local representatives will give regarding Kalyanpuri's cleaning arrangement. The first glimpse of the relevant representatives and the MCD will also be published with full prominence once it is received.

Kalyanpuri's streets are not just stuck with garbage today; they are waiting for the accountability that the public expects from their elected representatives. The question is straightforward—when the councillor is also from AAP and the MLA is also from AAP, when will the people of Kalyanpuri finally be freed from this mess?
