LG chairs DDA meeting to review key environmental, infrastructure projects
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Friday chaired a meeting of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) at the Yamuna Sports Complex to review the Action Taken Report on critical environmental and infrastructure projects across the national Capital.
The LG Secretariat said that detailed assessments were undertaken on the Yamuna Riverfront development and the comprehensive plan to revitalise Yamuna Bazar and the adjoining ghats.
The review also evaluated the time-bound restoration of 101 water bodies under Phase-I, including flagship projects in Dwarka and Rohini. Additionally, progress of major socio-economic infrastructure projects across Delhi, including hospitality, healthcare, luxury retail, and logistics hubs, was closely scrutinised.
To ensure absolute preparedness ahead of the monsoon, the status of the Desilting Action Plan 2026 across critical zones and waterlogging locations was rigorously monitored, alongside the operational readiness of the Central Flood Control Room before the June 15 deadline. Timely execution of these initiatives remains fundamental to building a resilient, progressive, and Viksit Delhi.
