To expedite the development work in Delhi’s villages, a review meeting was held on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Delhi’s Development Minister Shri Gopal Rai with 41 MLA and officers of the Development Department, MCD and Irrigation and Flood Control Department at the Delhi Secretariat. This year, a budget of nearly Rs 900 crore has been allocated by the government for the development of villages in Delhi. Following the meeting, Development Minister Shri Gopal Rai ordered the officials of IF&C and MCD to complete the pending proposals and projects related to the development works of the villages in Delhi.
Shri Gopal Rai said, “Delhi Village Development Board was formed by Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal to ensure development in the villages of Delhi, whose main objective is to ensure all kinds of basic amenities in the villages of Delhi. In order to expedite the development work related to the villages of Delhi, today a meeting was held with MLA and the officers of the Development Department, MCD and IF&C at the Delhi Secretariat. The ongoing and unfinished projects were discussed at the review meeting.
In the review meeting, the officers of the departments concerned presented the status report of the proposals related to village development received from each MLA.
