Delhi: Residents of Sector 51 on Sunday organised a street play in association with HCL Foundation, a private agency appointed by the Noida Industrial Development Authority, to create awareness in their residential pockets.
Sanjeev Kumar, general secretary of RWA, Sector 51, said it was noticed that the residents of his sector were not taking keen interest in segregating dry and wet waste before giving the garbage to a private agency, which provides door-to-door garbage collection in the city.
