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.
In the run-up to the Delhi legislative assembly elections, farmers and the residents of all the city's 360 villages opened a front condemning the prolonged neglect of the rural population, and have decided that they will support only those who could resolve their crucial issues.
The Delhi BJP chief pointed out that after a decade of governance by the Aam Aadmi Party's government in the national capital, Rangpuri continues to be in a shambles under the jurisdiction of AAP MLAs and councilors.
According to the AAP chief, Delhi government will provide Rs 2,100 per month to every woman above 18 years of age under ‘Mahila Samman Yojana’ and offer free treatment for all senior citizens under ‘Sanjeevani Yojana.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Sunday expressed disappointment over the sorry state of civic affairs across various places in the national capital, saying that it was disturbing to see helplessness and miserable lives of lakhs of people.
A senior citizen couple was charred to death following a fire that broke out in their apartment on Wednesday evening in South West Delhi’s Safdarjung area, the police said.
Virendra Sachdeva said the suspicion over the role of MLAs in the scam necessitated a CBI inquiry.
In his letter addressed to the CM, Saxena on Tuesday said, “I am writing to draw your urgent attention to an issue of significant public importance. I am sure that as elected Chief Minister of Delhi, you are conscious of the significance of statutory audit on the functioning of various departments undertaken by the CAG.”
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced that elderly citizens with age above 60 will receive free treatment under the 'Sanjeevani Yojna', in private and government hospitals across Delhi, if his party comes to power after the elections.
The CEC held a detailed and comprehensive review of the poll preparedness in the city.
