Kejriwal Government’s preparations for the G20 summit are in full swing. Major roads across Delhi have been given stunning transformation by the government to provide an unforgettable experience to dignitaries visiting the city for the upcoming G20 summit. The Delhi Government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) are leaving no stone unturned to enhance the cleanliness and aesthetics of Delhi for the summit. To assess the preparations for the event PWD Minister Atishi inspected the Shantivan Road and Delhi Gate on Wednesday.
While addressing the media regarding the ongoing preparations, Atishi stated, “Heads of countries and senior officials from around the world are coming to Delhi for the G20 summit. It is a matter of pride for both Delhi and the country that we are getting an opportunity to showcase our best to them. Preparations for the G20 summit are in full swing across Delhi, with beautification efforts also well underway. Today, I visited Rajghat, a location that many delegates and heads of countries will visit during the summit. Over the past year, the stretch from Rajghat to Red Fort has undergone a stunning transformation led by the PWD. This area has been enhanced with features such as fountains, contemporary street art, open seating spaces, lighting and many more.”
She further added, “Rajghat, the memorial of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, is always a priority for any esteemed foreign delegation visiting India. As such, the memorial has undergone unique landscaping. It has been adorned with greenery all around, a 115ft Indian flag, lighting installations, and much more. Alongside the heads of state, numerous contingents representing political, administrative, social, and economic sectors are also visiting concurrently during the summit. Hence, we have revitalized the entire vicinity around Rajghat to offer them an unforgettable experience. Rajghat is the pride of the nation, and we aim for visiting delegates to carry back indelible memories.”
The PWD Minister emphasized that even after the G20 summit, the Kejriwal government is committed to ensuring Delhi’s continued beauty. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has promised to the people of Delhi that he will uphold the city’s beauty and cleanliness. In his Independence Day speech, he reiterated his commitment to making Delhi clean and beautiful at any cost. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is also playing a significant role in enhancing Delhi’s aesthetics during the G20 summit. It has deployed a large number of sanitation staff and mechanized sweeping machines across Delhi to maintain cleanliness. Post the summit as well, the focus will remain on keeping the national capital clean and beautiful.
It is worth noting that over the past year, major roads in the city have been enhanced with features such as paved roadways, green spaces, outdoor seating areas, dedicated cycling tracks, artfully designed LED lighting, street furniture, public utility centers, fountains, and contemporary sandstone artworks.
