Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday launched development projects worth nearly Rs 100 crore in the Dwarka Assembly constituency, announcing a major push to strengthen civic infrastructure, including roads, sewage lines, drainage systems and electricity networks, in the area.
Addressing a public programme in Dwarka, Gupta said the Delhi Government was working towards transforming the vision of a “Viksit Delhi” into reality. She said the projects launched in the constituency included road construction and repairs, renovation of chaupals, strengthening of drainage infrastructure, beautification of parks, laying of new sewage pipelines, transformer upgrades and replacement of old electricity cables.
Gupta added that the projects were aimed at addressing issues such as waterlogging, damaged roads, sewage overflow and power supply disruptions in the rapidly growing sub-city region. Additionally, the CM announced that Dwarka would benefit from a new metro expansion project worth Rs 6,200 crore under Phase-5 of the Delhi Metro. She claimed her government had accelerated metro expansion by releasing Rs 10,000 crore for the project.
“Work related to regularisation and registration issues in unauthorised colonies has gained momentum after the formation of the double-engine government, enabling residents to secure legal ownership rights over their homes," said Gupta.
The CM alleged that several parts of Delhi had suffered from poor civic infrastructure in the past, including inadequate drinking water supply, absence of sewage lines and deteriorating roads and drains, and claimed that the BJP-led Delhi Government was addressing these issues on a war footing.
