Atishi visits Rangpuri, pledges swift action on civic issues
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi visited Rangpuri Pahadi in South West Delhi on Sunday to address grievances after Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena highlighted the area's civic challenges.
“The more the summons, the more the schools, and the hospitals I will build,” said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a reaction to the summons issued to him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the ongoing probe into an alleged liquor scam case.
Addressing a gathering at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of a government school in Mayur Vihar here on Friday, the chief minister informed that notices are being sent to him by various Central agencies on a regular basis.

Alleging a conspiracy against him behind the notices for providing good education to the poor children, Kejriwal reiterated his government’s commitment to turn the dream of Dr. B R Ambedkar into a reality.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor said his party was bound by a pledge to ensure access to good and modern education for every child in the county.
Pointing out that the area (Mayur Vihar) has big private schools; he assured that the proposed government school would prove a better option. He went on to say that if the government school did not turn out to be better than the private ones, he would quit politics.
The school is expected to benefit more than 2,700 children of the Kondli- Gharoli area of East Delhi. It will have more than 50 classrooms, five state-of-the-art laboratories, three libraries, and toilet blocks on each floor of the building equipped with lifts.
On Thursday, the Delhi CM was in the Dwarka area where he laid the foundation stone for a government school.
He said the state government was working to revamp the government schools across the capital and re-develop them with modern amenities to provide better education to the children of the poor who can’t afford the facilities.
On February 4, the CM laid the foundation stones for four schools in Rohini, Paschim Vihar Dwarka, and Mayur Vihar Phase- III.
