Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and cabinet ministers on Tuesday inspected roads in different parts of the city, for the second consecutive day , to ensure a pothole-free national capital by Diwali. Atishi inspected the roads in the Sarai Kale Khan area. She was accompanied by local MLA Praveen Kumar.
Taking to X, the chief minister said the BJP's "conspiracy" to stop the work being done for Delhiites by putting her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal in jail has failed.
"Under the guidance of Kejriwal, the Delhi cabinet and AAP MLAs are inspecting PWD roads to make them pothole-free," Atishi said.
"In this sequence, (I) inspected Sarai Kale Khan, Nizamuddin, Nehru Vihar Flyover, Moolchand Underpass, August Kranti Marg on Ring Road today along with officials," she added. Atishi said the stretch between Ring Road and Nizamuddin railway station is in a dilapidated condition. There are big potholes on the road due to which commuters face difficulty in travelling.
This road was handed over to the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) during the construction of the Rapid Rail station.
Instructions have been issued to PWD officials to coordinate with the NCRTC and repair this road soon, she said.
In another post, the chief minister said the Moolchand underpass road is also in a dilapidated condition. Potholes have formed on the road due to stagnant water. Officials have been instructed to repair the entire underpass road within a week.
Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inspected the roads in C R Park and the Alaknanda area and directed the officials to repair them. In a post on X, Sisodia said the impact of Kejriwal's mission to make Delhi's roads pothole-free is now visible.
"The entire PWD system has become active.
Work is being done immediately in areas that can be repaired through routine maintenance and the tender process has started for those areas where the entire road needs to be rebuilt," he said. Minister Gopal Rai inspected the roads in northeast Delhi's Gokulpuri area.a
