He said under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi government has constructed 3767 kms of roads and 5203 kms of drains in unauthorised colonies of the National Capital.
During the review meeting, the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister directed the officials to complete the pending work in the next three months. These development works include the construction of roads, streets and drains, to install sewer and water pipelines in these colonies. Along with this, the development work will be started soon in the remaining colonies as well.
During the meeting, the officials said that there are about 300 unauthorised colonies, where development work could not be carried out. The various reasons stated by the officials included the unavailability of NOCs from the archeological department & DDA, the region being attributed as forest land, and overlapping. Along with this, officials added that some of them are already developed and have the basic civic infrastructure, or they are being developed by other agencies.
