NEW DELHI
Making Delhi roads more beautiful and safer for commuters is the top priority of the Kejriwal Government. To ensure the same, the government’s Public Works Department (PWD) is working on mission mode. Recently, PWD Minister Atishi approved several major projects to improve the quality of roads across the national capital. Under the recently approved projects, strengthening work of Ring Road between Nigam Bodh Ghat to Chandgi Ram Akhara red light will be carried out.
It is to be noted that these road stretches are the major routes to ensure better connectivity across Delhi and are used by lakhs of commuters everyday.
Minister Atishi, emphasizing the government’s top priority, stated, “We aim to create roads that reflect the beauty of Delhi while ensuring the safety of all commuters. We are working on a mission mode to bring about significant improvements in the road infrastructure, making it more resilient and visually appealing.”
She added “These projects are a testament to our commitment to providing a world-class road infrastructure for the citizens of Delhi. The Ring Road strengthening work is a crucial step in our mission to create roads that are not only smooth but also safe for everyone. The strengthening of these roads will positively impact lakhs of commuters, alleviating congestion and enhancing connectivity.”
Ms Atishi told that these roads were originally constructed and upgraded long ago, leading to their gradual deterioration. The PWD has conducted a thorough assessment of the roads with the assistance of experts and has been instructed to initiate the upgrading process. The Minister also stressed the importance of ensuring minimal disruption to commuters during the construction phase, with a directive to adhere to global standards for high-quality roads.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to adhering to global standards and prioritizing the well-being of Delhi’s citizens, these projects underscore the focus on creating a robust and safe transportation network rather than just building roads. “Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the government is working in ‘Mission Mode’ to improve the roads of Delhi,” said PWD Minister Atishi.
PWD Minister Atishi has approved the strengthening project for the road from Nigam Bodh Ghat to Chandgi Ram Akhada Red Light along with the PVC Market Road to Rohtak Road stretch in West Delhi.
