Delhi CM Rekha Gupta emphasized preserving public assets and introduced a transformative budget, highlighting increased allocations for education, transport, and urban development. The Rs 1 lakh crore budget aims to boost growth, improve citizen welfare, and maintain city aesthetics by addressing stray cattle and metro pillar preservation.

In a move to safeguard public assets, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday ordered relevant authorities to arrange a shelter for a stray cattle found on Haiderpur flyover. While en route to the Delhi Assembly, she noticed the cattle and took immediate action.

During her routine inspection, CM Gupta also addressed the issue of defacement by urging citizens not to damage government property. She stressed that maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing city requires everyone's cooperation, citing metro pillars as significant landmarks. Gupta personally removed posters from these areas and directed officials to do the same.

With a hefty allocation of Rs 1 lakh crore, the budget prioritizes education, transport, and urban development, promising a 31.58% boost in funding from the previous year.
