Delhi Cabinet Leads Charge for Pothole-Free Roads by Diwali

Delhi cabinet ministers, led by Chief Minister Atishi, began inspecting and identifying damaged roads across the city. The initiative aims to make the national capital pothole-free by Diwali. Various ministers reviewed roads in different parts of Delhi, with repair work to begin immediately.

Delhi cabinet ministers led by Chief Minister Atishi kicked off an initiative on Monday morning to identify and inspect damaged roads across the city, aiming to ensure a pothole-free national capital by Diwali.

Chief Minister Atishi, along with Public Works Department (PWD) engineers, visited multiple locations in south and southeast Delhi. In a post on X, she highlighted the poor condition of roads at NSIC Okhla, Modi Mill flyover, Chirag Dilli, Tughalakabad, Mathura Road, Ashram Chowk, and its underpass, noting the difficulties faced by commuters due to potholes.

Ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inspected roads in east Delhi. Sisodia attributed the poor road conditions to alleged fake cases filed by the BJP against him and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, which stalled ongoing public works. Ministers Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Imran Hussain, and Mukesh Ahlawat also conducted inspections in their respective areas, with repairs set to begin imminently and all roads expected to be pothole-free by the end of October.
