Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Sunday stated that the national capital has been witnessing the biggest ever infrastructural development by the public works department and other agencies.
‘The city government is keen to turn Delhi into an advanced, convenient and durable infrastructural-oriented world-class city which will set an example to other ultra-modern developed cities in the world,’ Dikshit claimed.
She further stated that the development that has been made in the past few years is visible in Delhi and it can also be felt easily. The chief minister was speaking at a function organised to lay the foundation stone for the comprehensive development of a corridor between Mangolpuri to Madhuban Chowk on Outer Ring Road at an estimated cost of Rs. 423 crore.
She added that the PWD has been working hard to turn Delhi into a city with exemplary connectivity in terms of roads, flyovers, elevated roads, underpasses and modern foot-over bridges with escalators.
Dikshit also stated that the city government has not only provided Rs.1,500 crore for giving a new look and strength to 647 roads with combined length of 802 kms transferred from the MCD but has also sanctioned an amount of Rs. 2,200 crore for the development of an entire corridor from Vikaspuri to Wazirabad to make it signal-free with the construction of seven flyovers and elevated roads.
Union minister Kapil Sibal, Delhi PWD minister Raj Kumar Chauhan, parliamentary secretary to CM, Anil Bhardwaj and Surender Kumar were present on the occasion.
Dikshit stated that the corridor between Mangolpuri to Madhuban Chowk would have length of around 4 km out of which around 2.6 kms. would be an elevated one.
