Introduction

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) says Jor Bagh has a new green certificate. It is not a new name for the area.

Main Body

Some people thought the area had a new name. This happened because of a post on social media. The NDMC says the name is still Jor Bagh. To get the 'Anupam Colony' certificate, a place must be clean. People must separate their trash. They must make compost from old plants and food. They must use machines to clean the streets. Other places like New Moti Bagh already have this certificate. Now, Jor Bagh will get it. The city will also plant new trees there.

Conclusion

Jor Bagh keeps its old name. It now has a certificate for cleaning the environment.

πŸ› οΈ The 'MUST' Tool

In this story, we see a pattern for rules. When something is required, we use must.

How it works: Person/Place β†’\rightarrow must β†’\rightarrow Action

Examples from the text:

  • Place β†’\rightarrow must β†’\rightarrow be clean
  • People β†’\rightarrow must β†’\rightarrow separate trash

πŸ’‘ Quick Tip: Notice that after 'must', the action word (verb) stays in its simplest form. We don't add 'to' or 'ing'.

Correct: Must separate βœ… Incorrect: Must separating ❌
