Meanwhile, informing people about the administrative level work, Kejriwal said that the tender has been done. “As the work of laying sewer line in these by-lanes will get completed, the work of constructing the by-lanes will start simultaneously. Once it is done, you will not face problems during the monsoon. By the time, rains start, your lanes would be constructed,” said Kejriwal.
“Once the sewer work is done, your problem of sewage will be over, he told the residents.” Kejriwal was accompanied by the Badarpur MLA ND Sharma and officers of different departments during his padyatras in the area.

We will soon have good by-lanes. This will all give us a more respectable life. A resident of BIW Camp D Pradhan said, I have seen this for the first time that a Chief Minister is going from one lane to another, meeting each and every resident and discussing their problems. Kejriwal is the first one to do so. He came with solutions to our problems of water, sewer and lanes. We are very happy.
