G-20 events: Drives to check stray dogs, training of cab drivers part of preparations

Friday, 03 February 2023 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

In a meeting to review preparations for the G-20 Summit and related events in the city, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena was informed on Thursday that the work by different departments was being "hampered" due to unauthorised and illegal occupation of government land.

It was decided in the meeting to train Uber drivers and make their payment portals compatible to transactions through international credit cards, and to carry out special drives to tackle the problem of stray cattle, dogs as well as monkeys and pigeons.

A total of 26 departments and agencies are working on specific tasks assigned to them, of which 24 submitted their action plans for consideration in the meeting.

The railways and the CPWD that did not come up with their action plans were directed to submit the same within a week, according to a statement from the LG's office.

"It was informed that a bulk of the work was in the domain of PWD, Delhi Government, MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) and railways and the same was getting hampered because of unauthorised and illegal occupation of Government land and roads," the statement said.

The LG insisted that nobody should be removed in a callous and inhuman manner without providing them the required rehabilitation, relocation and assistance as provided by law, it said.
