“The Ring Road strengthening work is a crucial step in our mission to create roads that are not only smooth but also safe for everyone. The strengthening of these roads will positively impact lakhs of commuters, alleviating congestion and enhancing connectivity,” she said.
The minister said that these roads were originally constructed and upgraded long ago, leading to their gradual deterioration. The PWD has conducted a thorough assessment of the roads with the assistance of experts and has been instructed to initiate the upgrading process.
Atishi also stressed the importance of ensuring minimal disruption to commuters during the construction phase, with a directive to adhere to global standards for high-quality roads.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to adhering to global standards and prioritizing the well-being of Delhi’s citizens, she further said, “These projects underscore the focus on creating a robust and safe transportation network rather than just building roads.”
“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the government is working in ‘Mission Mode’ to improve the roads of Delhi,” added Atishi.
