well-being of Delhi’s citizens and adhering to global standards, emphasizing, “Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the government is working in ‘Mission Mode’ to improve the roads of Delhi.” The rehabilitation and strengthening of these roads hold promise for thousands of residents and commuters, promising reduced congestion and enhanced interconnectivity from main roads to colonies. This move underscores the government’s vision of not just building roads but creating a robust and safe transportation network.

Furthermore, the minister highlighted the need for maintaining these roads under the strengthening project to ensure smooth traffic flow. She also directed officials to ensure that all safety standards are strictly followed during the construction phase.
