Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led a meeting of the Trans-Yamuna Area Development Board (TYADB) that sanctioned projects totaling Rs 728 crore. The focus is to expedite development in the Trans-Yamuna region, which houses around one-third of Delhi’s population. Gupta assured ample financial backing for the region’s progress and urged prioritization of projects based on genuine requirements.
The meeting, held at the Delhi Secretariat, was attended by State Minister Kapil Mishra, Chairman of the Trans-Yamuna Area Development Board, BJP MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely, and other Board members. Chief Minister Gupta highlighted that enhancing the Trans-Yamuna region stands as a top priority for the Delhi government. The objective is to elevate the region to a level where people opt to reside there willingly.
Emphasizing the necessity of balanced development, Gupta stressed the importance of addressing fundamental needs like roads, drainage systems, waterlogging prevention, and safe transportation alongside beautification efforts. She expressed concern over the previous government’s inactivity leading to a stagnation in the region’s development, causing inconvenience to residents. Gupta pledged full execution of Board-recommended projects without financial hindrances.
In a separate announcement, Chief Minister Gupta disclosed plans for constructing a modern integrated complex in Alipur to cater to children in conflict with the law. The facility, spanning approximately eight acres, aims to house nearly 700 children awaiting hearings before the Juvenile Justice Board. The focus will be on reintegrating these children into society, ensuring a comprehensive and safe system for their rehabilitation.
