Badarpur residents will start getting Ganga water in a week: Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: After an early morning surprise inspection to the Badarpur area, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal directed the officials to start all the water lines within a week so that the residents get Ganga water and also to start the work of sewage line construction. The CM in an interaction with the people said that after the sewage work the government will finish the work of construction of roads before this monsoon.

"Water pipeline has already been laid in your area. And now in a week's time Ganga water will start coming to your homes in your tap. There are four by-lanes where water pipelines have not been laid till now, the work of laying pipelines in these four by-lanes will start this month and then Ganga water will start coming to these areas also," he said.

He also said, "The work of laying sewer line in the area will start in 15 days. The tender has been done. As the work of laying sewer line in these by-lanes will get completed, the work of constructing the by-lanes will start simultaneously. Once it is done, you will not face problems during the monsoon. By the time, rains start, your lanes would be constructed."

Once the sewer work is done, your problem of sewage will be over, he told the residents. The Chief Minister was accompanied by the local MLA and officers of different departments during his padyatras in the area. He interacted with the local people and discussed with their problems.

Our attempt is to spend every moment of our life working for the country," tweeted CM Arvind Kejriwal after his mass contact padyatras in Badarpur assembly on Thursday.
