'Swacch Delhi' app, that turned effective from Monday, has enabled residents to click pictures of garbage and apprise a centralised control room that will direct the concerned government body to attend the complaint.
"The mobile application can be downloaded by giving a missed call on the number 7666400400. The user will get a message with the link to download the application," Kejriwal had said.
"Once you use the application and send us the picture of the garbage, we will automatically get the exact location and the longitude of the place. So, it will be convenient for the residents and local bodies (MCD and PWD) to track the location accurately and clean it," he had added.

Municipal corporations will be responsible to collect the garbage and Delhi government's Public Works Department (PWD) for the debris' collection.

All the information sent via Swacch Delhi app will also go to the central control room that will store the information as database.
