The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has clarified that Jor Bagh, an upscale neighborhood in New Delhi, has not been renamed 'Anupam Colony.' Instead, 'Anupam' is a sustainability certification tag awarded to residential areas that excel in promoting sustainable and zero-waste living practices. This clarification came after a social media post by Priyanka Chaturvedi, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), who initially misunderstood the NDMC's announcement and suggested that Jor Bagh had lost its original identity. Chahal emphasized that the term 'Anupam' does not indicate a name change but rather signifies recognition under a civic sustainability program. A formal ceremony will take place in Jor Bagh, which will include a plantation drive as part of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative. The 'Anupam Colony' certification aims to honor residential areas that adopt effective waste management practices, including waste segregation and composting. Jor Bagh is now among several other neighborhoods recognized for their commitment to sustainability.
