As per the visions of CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal, to make all Delhi roads world-class, PWD Minister Atishi is inspecting various roads across the capital regularly. In a series of the same, after roads of central Delhi, the Minister reached remote areas of rural Delhi for road inspection today. There, she inspected the Bawana-Narela and Bakhtawarpur-Palla roads.
During the inspection, Minister Atishi found that the existing drainage system on the Bawana-Narela road was inadequate, leading to waterlogging on the road at several locations, and causing damage to the road. Additionally, encroachments on both sides of the road resulted in traffic issues. The Minister reprimanded the officials responsible for the poor drainage system and immediately directed the desilting of the nearby drains and fixing of the outfall. She also instructed repairs to the road and drainage covers.
In the second part of the inspection on the Bakhtawarpur-Palla road’s initial sections, Minister Atishi discovered that one side of the road had a drainage system, while the other side did not. In response, she instructed officials to explore the possibilities of creating new drains through a survey in this area.
In Bakhtawarpur, due to the inadequate outfall of the existing drain in the front part of the road, the drain appeared to overflow. The Minister directed officials to quickly conduct surveys of the roads and prepare redesign plans, with a primary focus on improving drainage in the redesign plan. Additionally, she instructed the development of green belts over the drain covers at several locations.
A new drain is being prepared on the other side of the road. Minister Atishi reprimanded officials for the delay and instructed them to expedite the remaining work.
She said that along with fixing the drainage system, the road’s carriageway should also be improved. The footpath should be repaired for the convenience of pedestrians, and special attention should be given to landscaping to enhance the road’s beauty.
The Minister said, “Whether it’s the posh areas of South Delhi or the remote villages of Rural Delhi, we will make every part of the roads world-class and provide the people of Delhi with a fantastic road experience. This is Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s vision, and work is rapidly progressing towards fulfilling it.”
