Delhi BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal on Thursday conducted a thorough inspection of Chandni Chowk, Bhagirathi Place, Fountain, Nai Sadak, Dangal Maidan, Railway Station Road, Church Mission Road and Khari Baoli in his constituency.

Speaking on the purpose of his inspection, Khandelwal said, "Chandni chowk is the center of various trade in the country and is a historical place too, hence I will do everything to restore its cultural heritage and dignity.”

He added that he is planning the restructuring of the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation which he said ‘will single handedly look after this historical place’. “The current situation is getting worst as various agencies are taking care of the place and they are doing nothing except putting blames on each other," Khandelwal asserted.

He took stock of various issues plaguing the area, including encroachments, potholes, and poor sanitation and water logging. During the inspection, Shri Khandelwal noted significant concerns about the state of public spaces. He emphasized that roads littered with dirt, unresolved potholes, and unauthorized encroachments were not acceptable and needed to be urgently addressed.

The Chandni Chowk MP instructed the concerned officials to take detailed notes of all the identified issues and prepare a comprehensive action plan to ensure that every point of concern is tackled without delay.

Khandelwal added that he plans to revisit Chandni Chowk in an unannounced manner to personally verify the progress of the remedial measures. “I will silently monitor the situation to see if the work has been completed satisfactorily.

If the issues persist or if the work is incomplete, strict action will be taken against the responsible officials," he said.
