New Delhi: Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, has given the go-ahead for 17 road improvements in West Delhi, according to a statement released last week.
According to the statement, these projects will cover a total of 12.83 km of roadways in the Tilak Nagar, Vikaspuri, and Janakpuri neighbourhoods.
“The PWD has expedited the work of road strengthening and beautification across the city. The department is using modern technologies and global standards of street design to give a new look to the city roads."
"Along with road strengthening and maintenance, the special focus of the department is on beautifying the prominent city roads to provide a pleasant commuting experience to commuters," he said.
PWD officials had carried out a thorough inspection of roads to assess their requirements. Following this, the projects were prepared and approved by the government, the statement said.
The PWD is putting an emphasis on road markings, plantations, etc. in addition to making the roads durable.
Sisodia said the PWD is working in a phased manner to make the city roads better.

"Taking cognisance of the situation, a new road maintenance project is being started in these areas to avoid any inconvenience to the common public. This will improve the interconnectivity in the area and save time for commuters," he added.
