MCD to beautify areas under its jurisdiction ahead of G-20 Summit

New Delhi: Several roads and parks will be beautified, trees illuminated and public art will be installed at many locations of Delhi which is

slated to host the G20 Summit next year, civic officials said Wednesday.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has identified thrust areas and laid out a timeline for this work.

This will include improving road infrastructure and walkability, refurbishing signages, beautifying areas beneath flyovers, good LED lighting, illuminating trees, covering drains and replacing broken slabs, installing public art at important locations, developing modern kiosks, taking permanent measures to prevent waterlogging.
