The mayor, who called on the minister, also appraised Goyal about green spaces, beautification and installation of public arts on spaces underneath flyovers which once had practically become dumping ground for waste, a statement from the SDMC stated.
“The mayor requested the rail minister to make the ring rail services better so that the number of passengers could increase,” it said.Some of stations on the circular rail network are lajpat Nagar, lodhi Colony, Sarojini Nagar, Safadurjung and Chanakyapuri. The network carries around 4,000 people daily.
