Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Thursday said the challenge of rapid urbanisation of cities needs to be addressed with commitment and requires technical competence, innovation and ethical clarity.

He was speaking at an event organised by the Delhi Development Authority for its newly appointed officers and staff . “We are living in an era of profound transformation. This occasion is not merely about administrative appointments, it represents a broader shift in governance across our nation,” the L-G said.

Congratulating the new appointees, he said, “You are not only joining a public organisation but also becoming custodians for the development and future of the national capital.” He said Delhi holds a unique position where the expectations from the governance system are high and diverse. “Therefore, your role extends beyond individual assignments and becomes part of a larger framework of urban and national transformation,” Mr. Sandhu said.
