Delhi PWD minister Atishi on Sunday approved a road strengthening project to give three roads in east Delhi a makeover under the East Zone area of Kondli and Trilokpuri. These roads include Road Number 109 - from Sapera Basti to Khoda Chowk, Dallupura Road - from Timber Market to Noida Border, and Buddha Singh Marg - from Manav Ashray Kat to Dallupura T-Point. Under the project, the Public Works Department will undertake the strengthening of these road stretches, painting work for lane marking, parapet walls/railings, etc., ensuring compliance with standards.
Approving the project, PWD Minister Atishi said these project will improve the roads of East Delhi and make them long-lasting. “ Along with this, the project will also make the area beautiful. The Arvind Kejriwal government is committed to making the roads of Delhi safer for commuters and providing them a pleasant experience. The government is systematically identifying the loopholes to address the key issues affecting the condition of roads in the city. In this plan, specialists conduct a thorough assessment of roads, utilizing modern techniques for maintenance and strengthening, ensuring they can withstand heavy traffic and any weather conditions,” Atishi said.
The Minister further added that the Delhi Government is working in a phased manner to strengthen the roads of Delhi. “Given that the construction of these roads took place quite some time ago, there is a current need for their maintenance. The riding quality of the roads has been affected due to cutting for cable and pipe laying by civic agencies. Therefore, maintenance and beautification work is now commencing here. PWD officials are instructed to complete the work within a specified timeframe and strictly adhere to all safety guidelines to avoid any inconvenience to travellers,” she added.
To ensure that the people of Delhi do not face any issues with noise pollution and traffic congestion, PWD regularly performs maintenance work on the roads as needed. For the strengthening of these roads, PWD officials have conducted a thorough inspection of their current condition and requirements. After careful examination, the government has approved these projects.
