Delhi PWD Minister Atishi has approved projects for the rehabilitation and strengthening of nine roads throughout Shahdara district in the national coapital.
Atishi said: “The Kejriwal government’s emphasis is on establishing a resilient and secure transportation network following global standards. The sanctioned road-strengthening projects across Delhi serve as a testament to the Delhi government’s dedication to delivering world-class road infrastructure for the city’s residents.”

She said the strengthening of these roads will positively impact thousands of individuals in the area, alleviating congestion and enhancing interconnectivity from main roads to colonies.
The minister further 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, she said.
The Minister 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, Atishi added that 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,” she said.
