Delhi Government’s Minister for Environment, Forest and Wildlife Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Tuesday assured that the State Government is working fast to improve infrastructure and provide better amenities in government schools and residential areas within a fixed time frame.
He made these assertions after an inspection of Sanjay Colony, Chhattarpur to review civic amenities and the infrastructure of the Senior Secondary School in the locality. Sirsa was accompanied by Member of Parliament Rambir Singh Bidhuri and local MLA Kartar Singh.
The Minister expressed concern over the condition of the school, where several issues were observed, including damaged tin-sheet roofing, unpainted classroom walls, worn-out benches, and an underdeveloped playground.
Addressing senior students — the Minister gave an assurance, “Before you sit for your board exams, I will ensure this school gets a proper building. Our children deserve dignity, not neglect.” During his inspection, the Minister interacted with the teaching staff, school principal, and students, and assured them of the government’s immediate attention to their needs.
“Fraudsters of the previous Government duped the people of Delhi in the name of an ‘education revolution.’ While they revamped liquor shops into five-star facilities, our children were left to study under tin roofs in scorching heat and rain. This is not revolution—this is betrayal.”
Sirsa noted that while infrastructure may have been overlooked in the past by the previous governments, efforts are now being undertaken to change the on-ground civic situation.
Following this, he visited Dera village, where he interacted with local residents and heard their concerns.
He assured them that the village’s main road, drainage system, and other basic amenities would be strengthened in the coming months. He also promised to escalate the remaining issues to the appropriate authorities to ensure swift resolution.
The Minister said, “Our Government is always accessible to the public. We are committed to accountability and timely execution. All the concerns raised today will be addressed within a fixed time frame.”
