nChief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday termed the law and order situation in the national Capital ‘grave’ and appealed to Home Minister Amit Shah to take stringent steps to streamline the security arrangements in the national Capital.
Speaking on the sidelines of a public rally at Taimur Nagar in Okhla constituency, Kejriwal told the media that the city’s law and order situation is “poor” and “grave” and the Delhi Government is doing whatever it can to improve it.
On the occasion, Kejriwal also handed over an appointment letter from the Delhi Waqf Board to martyr Rupesh Gurjar’s wife Monu. The Chief Minister said that he considers himself the elder son of every family of Delhi and so it is his responsibility to provide a comfortable life to the people. “We all are gathered here to honor the bravery of martyr Rupesh. Brother Rupesh sacrificed his life while fighting against the drug mafia. It is a fact that people living in the same society do not care or do anything for each other and such people are very rare,” he said.
Kejriwal said, “I understand the plight of a common man because I was the same as you all a few years back. We decided to provide 200 units of free electricity and now 60-70 per cent of people in Delhi are receiving zero electricity bills. We are establishing Mohalla Clinics in each locality across the city,” he added.
Talking to media, the Chief Minister said that Delhi’s law and order situation is poor. “The Delhi government is doing whatever it can to improve it.”We have installed CCTV cameras and are installing street lights in the city. I appeal to the Union Home Minister to take stringent steps to streamline the security arrangements of Delhi,” he added.
Kejriwal also said that if someone met with road accident, even though he is a non-resident of Delhi, you can take the victim to the nearest hospital, and the Delhi government will bear the cost of all of their treatment. We know that the people are constantly worried about the safety of their family members owing to the grave traffic problem in Delhi, and if any unfortunate incident happens, not every family can afford such high-cost treatments. The credit of all the development that is happening in Delhi goes to you all,” he said.
