City mayor Raj Bala Malik on Friday launched the “neki ki deewar” or wall of kindness scheme of the municipal corporation at the community centre in Sector 8.
The mayor said that people can leave their old clothes, blankets, sheets, shoes and other items here so that they can be used by the needy. The facility will be started throughout the city outside the community centres in phases. Joint Commissioner Saurabh Arora informed that “neki ki deewar” or wall of kindness is also being built in the community centres of Sector-19, 49 and Manimajra.
KK Yadav, municipal commissioner, said that there were many people in the city who were helping the needy by taking care of them and leaving things at the “neki ki deewar” or wall of kindness to help the poor. He said that the MCC was also running a vehicle, Swachhta Swari, throughout city sectors and colonies including villages to collect clothes, bags, shoes etc. Rotary Club has been associated with the MC in this noble cause.
The Rotary Club has got some boxes prepared which will be placed in different markets. These boxes will be a good option for those who cannot visit the community centres. The MC appealed to the people to come forward and donate essential items.
