The deputy commissioner also said that four more Khilona Banks will be opened in Najafgarh Zone where people can donate toys. Radha Krishan urged people to participate in this drive so they could contribute to make the environment clean.
SDMC Mayor Anamika said that the bank has been opened keeping in view of Swachh Survekshan-2021 where people can donate old and useless toys.
In result, Corporation can not only make a bank of such toys and can provide for those children who cannot afford, she said.
Anamika informed that children come and play and even take these toys along. This is a great initiative which brings smiles on the faces of innocent children. “At the same time it reduces the generation of waste in the form of old and unused toys which otherwise get discarded as garbage and waste. A unique way to promote rescue of goods and articles and reduce wastage of toys mostly made up of plastic and fur,” she added.
