The Delhi government will give a new look to PWD roads in the city through redesigning, blacktopping, and plant ornamentation, PWD minister Atishi said on Monday.
The government seeks to develop PWD roads in the city on the lines of those recently revamped in many areas for the G20 Summit. The PWD minister, who has been regularly visiting various stretches for the purpose, inspected Shankar Road and Pusa Raod along with officials.
She directed the officials to work towards redesigning Delhi roads and making them clean, beautiful, and user-friendly. The officials were also directed by the minister to prioritise horticulture along the roads and ensure they are regularly maintained, according to a statement from the PWD minister’s office.
Under the road revamp plan, footpaths of different stretches will be repaired and given a uniform look, and central verges will be beautified with various types of plants besides LED lighting and design standards as per global standards, it said.
“Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has promised the people of Delhi that, just like certain parts of Delhi were given a splendid makeover during the G-20 summit, now the entire city’s roads will be transformed into something magnificent. We will beautify the entire Delhi,” Atishi said. An inspection of the roads is being done to review how they can be improved, she said.
