Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that ‘European style’ roadways will soon be a reality in Delhi. The initiatives would give the city streets a new identity.
According to a statement, Mr Sisodia met with consultants and Public Works Department (PWD) officials to discuss the streetscaping of 16 roads that are being reconstructed in a trial phase across Delhi. He also reviewed designs for the beautification of these roads and offered his opinions.
‘I reviewed the work of streetscaping personally with the consultants and gave suggestions for improvement. Their ideas to change the face of Delhi’s roads and make them world-class are amazing’, Sisodia said, adding, ‘With the completion of this project European style roads in Delhi will be a reality soon. This effort of the Kejriwal Government will also decongest city roads and enhance mobility along with making them beautiful’.
