While commenting on the status of the project of the particular road stretch, Sisodia said that the Shivdaspuri Moti Nagar road has been converted into a world class road, and citizens are thrilled to see the newly beautified stretch.
He said, "Working on the vision of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the PWD department is beautifying the 16 roads of Delhi on the lines of European roads and after their beautification in the pilot phase, we will work on further 540 km of roads under PWD. The beautification work will give a new look to the roads and provide a pleasant walking experience to people."
