Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday inaugurated two newly constructed two-lane slip road bridges over the Ghazipur Drain and Hindon Canal in east Delhi’s Kondli.
The construction of these bridges will provide thousands of residents of the Trilokpuri, Kondli and Patparganj Assembly constituencies with better road connectivity, smoother movement and a more convenient traffic system. The project will also play an important role in strengthening connectivity in the area and making movement easier for daily commuters, as per the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the Delhi government is focused on developing infrastructure that directly and widely benefits the common people. Strengthening the road network, reducing traffic pressure and ensuring better connectivity between different parts of Delhi are among the government’s priorities. The Kondli project is another important step towards a better-connected, smoother and more developed Delhi. Work is being carried out continuously across different parts of Delhi to improve road infrastructure while also ensuring safe and smooth traffic movement.
Ms. Gupta also said that Delhi had long needed modernisation of its drainage system, but despite growing population and changing needs, adequate attention was not given to the improvement, desilting and maintenance of old drains and the drainage network. “This resulted in waterlogging and inconvenience to citizens during the rains. The present government is working to strengthen the drainage system and find a permanent solution to the problem of waterlogging,” she said.
