Date: 25-June-2016 No. of Volunteers: 29 Time: 2 Hours We were invited by India@75 team (a CII initiative) to participate in their cleanliness drive at CP. Our enthusiastic team of volunteers showed up in big numbers and removed paan-stains from pillars at inner circle in CP. We also painted them to restore their look. Our volunteers also spoke to some of the local vendors sitting around and big showrooms such as those of United Colors Of Benetton and Asian Paints and requested them all to help clean the surroundings clean. It'll only help their business after-all. WE MEAN TO CLEAN was also thrilled to be accompanied by Temsutula Imsong and Shailesh Pandey.  And our team thanks them to guide us with ideas for our future drives and their assured continued support.  We also assure them of our continued participation in nationwide shramdaan . We were also joined by Farzz NGO Team from Bangalore, including two Russians! We sincerely thank them for their support and hope to collabo...

Date: 27-Mar-16 Number of Volunteers: 4 You must remember or must have seen our subway spotfix at Dabri Mor on 13-Mar-16 . We'd removed posters from that subway entrance wall and repainted it to restore it. We did the same activity on the other side of the subway this time. Few posters, yes. But they make the job even more labourious. Why? Because they're firmly stuck to the wall and removing them is no easy task. But our volunteers can still do it! Metal plates and metal brushes were used to remove these posters. Our team in action. Wetting those posters with water helps soften their grip on the wall. After that removing them is easy. Our volunteers repainting the wall to restore it to its original state. It's important to have these black and yellow stripes as it's turn and these stripes serve as a caution for drivers. Few volunteers but tremendous work done.

Date: 13-Mar-2016 Number of Volunteers: 21 This subway entrance wall was covered with layers of posters. This subway is at a turn and is coloured with black and yellow stripes indicating caution, but the posters hid their significance beneath them. Our volunteers gathered on Sunday morning and removed all the posters and then painted the wall in its original colours. Few of the volunteers joined us from the crowd including four children. These children had helped us earlier also with cleaning Dabri Mor Flyover pillars ( https://www.facebook.com/pg/WeMeanToCleanMeetup/photos/?tab=album&album_id=733960576736510 ). We had also requested Pioneer Academy to help us in removing their own posters. Although they'd agreed to help but sadly none came from their end. After five hours of dedicated work we were able to restore the wall. Inspired? Then join us: http://wmtc.org.in

Date: 28-Nov-2015 Location: Dabri Mor flyover, Delhi Flyover pillars are covered with layers of posters. The place was rescued by our volunteers who first removed those posters and then did some artwork on the pillars along with some messages. Our effort was also appreciated by Mr. Rajesh Rishi, MLA Janakpuri, who was present there along with his team of engineers. He assured that he has a plan for improvement of that place and would be working towards it. He has also extended his help to us. Volunteers did a splendid job to change the face of the place, but still a lot needs to be done for the place. We need more volunteers. Join us: http://wmtc.org.in

An exciting day for us. We never tried it before at this scale at such a location. But with a little help from everyone the day turned out to be outstanding! The place is Janakpuri District Center. It's a large shopping center in west Delhi. Home to various kinds of shops, eateries, restaurants and even offices. Also, a perpetual victim of civil negligence by those who have an establishment here or the visitors to these establishments. Yes, the place maintains consistency all-year round in terms of open garbage dumping. Before we even conducted this drive we spoke to a lot of shop owners to understand the problem. It was the same lamenting around people's attitude towards littering liberally... Forget littering, people found creative ways to dump their garbage - office letter boxes! The other thing that came out of those discussions with the local shopkeepers was finger-pointing on civic authorities. Not that the place doesn't see any sweepers. We did spot one on the day of...
