The Minister further said the government is working in ‘mission mode’ to improve the roads of Delhi.
Atishi instructed the officials that all the standards of security and quality should be followed with commitment during the strengthening and that the commuters should not face any problems.
The Minister also asked to ensure that commuters do not face any inconvenience during the construction and that all standards of high-quality roads are followed during the construction.
It may be mentioned that thousands of vehicles ply on this road daily. Due to heavy traffic, cracks have been seen at many places on the upper surface of the road.
In such a situation, the PWD has inspected the road with the help of experts and the Minister has given instructions to strengthen it as soon as possible.
