The government is working in a planned manner to identify and address issues that affect the condition of roads, Atishi said.
This project utilises modern techniques and assessment by experts, and repairs and strengthening will ensure that these roads can withstand heavy traffic and any weather condition, she said.
The minister said the Delhi government is working in a systematic manner to improve the condition of these roads.
The focus is on their upkeep as they were constructed a long time ago and now require maintenance, she said.
Due to laying of underground cables and pipes by civic agencies, the ride quality of the roads has also deteriorated and therefore, maintenance and beautification work is being initiated, Atishi said.
To ensure that there is no inconvenience to commuters, PWD officials have been instructed to complete the work within a specified time-frame and adhere to all safety guidelines, the minister said. PTI SLB SLB ANB ANB
