We want to provide the people of Delhi with a world-class road experience so that they can have a splendid experience while traveling on the roads, she added.
Some of the directives included blacktopping of roads mandatory, road to be redesigned as per the need and central verges be made more beautiful while street furniture should be installed according to design and location.
