Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta initiated the Nangloi-Najafgarh road strengthening and drainage construction project. This project aims to address issues faced by West Delhi residents during the monsoon, such as waterlogging, overflowing drains, and traffic congestion. Upon completion, the project will enhance drainage, upgrade roads, and alleviate traffic bottlenecks, benefiting the local commuters.
Saxena highlighted the significance of fulfilling the long-standing demand of the people of Nangloi and Najafgarh. He emphasized that the Delhi Government’s efforts will bring positive changes to the lives of residents by addressing pollution, traffic congestion, and waterlogging issues. The project, costing Rs 64 crore, includes strengthening the Nangloi-Najafgarh Road and constructing drainage infrastructure.
The Lieutenant Governor recalled his visit to various areas in September 2024, where he witnessed deteriorating conditions with sewage water on roads and damaged infrastructure. Despite previous neglect, the current government, led by Chief Minister Gupta, has prioritized the project. Gupta expressed gratitude towards Saxena for his support and highlighted the government’s commitment to resolving infrastructural challenges.
Chief Minister Gupta emphasized that the project signifies a significant development for West Delhi residents. She acknowledged the government’s focus on addressing long-standing neglect of the road and drainage systems. Over the past 11 months, the government has prioritized resolving Delhi’s infrastructural issues, including improving the city’s drainage and stormwater management systems.
