New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) As heavy showers battered the city, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta travelled in a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus on Tuesday to conduct an on-ground inspection of waterlogging in Rohini and nearby areas.
During the inspection, Gupta reviewed waterlogging-prone areas, the cleanliness of major roads, and the condition of debris and garbage accumulated along roadsides.
She instructed officials to further strengthen the drainage system during the monsoon and ensure that no area experiences waterlogging.
“The roads of the capital are not merely a means of transport but are also an integral part of Delhi’s identity, making their proper maintenance and safety, essential. I also directed that road widening, repairs of damaged roads, and the filling of potholes be taken up on priority,” Gupta said.
“Development will be visible on the ground, not just in files, making the national capital clean and accessible is our priority,” she said.
Gupta said that the her government will not rely solely on file-based reviews of development projects but will conduct on-ground inspections of every major project to ensure its progress.
“Providing the people of Delhi with a clean, safe, accessible, and beautiful capital remains the government’s highest priority, and all departments must work in mission mode to achieve this goal,” she said in a statement.
During the visit, she also reviewed the progress of waste disposal operations at landfill sites along the route.
The chief minister directed officials to ensure that there is no laxity in the ongoing campaign to eliminate the city’s garbage mountains and that all work is completed within the stipulated timeline.
Gupta also chaired a review meeting with senior officials of the concerned departments at the DDA Sports Complex in Rohini and directed officials to regularly monitor all ongoing works and ensure that every project is completed within the prescribed timeline while maintaining quality standards.
