Delhi PWD minister Atishi has approved projects for the rehabilitation and strengthening of various parts of the Outer Ring Road in the national capital.
“The Kejriwal government’s emphasis is on establishing a resilient and secure transportation network in line with global standards. The Outer Ring Road is the lifeline of Delhi, connecting various parts of the city and facilitating the daily commute of lakhs of residents,” she said while approving the projects.

She further said these initiatives align with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s vision to provide Delhi commuters with a pleasant commuting experience while enhancing the overall connectivity of different areas.
“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 said.
She 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 prioritising the well-being of Delhi’s citizens, these projects underscore the focus on creating a robust and safe transportation network rather than just building roads, Atishi added.
“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the government is working in ‘mission mode’ to improve the roads of Delhi,” said Atishi.
