Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Union Minister of State and Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra on Sunday announced a Rs 138 crore sewer infrastructure project for Karawal Nagar, as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's public outreach campaign marking 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led Central Government.
Project Announcement and Details
The announcement was made at a public meeting in Karawal Nagar, attended by local MLA and Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra, MP Manoj Tiwari, Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh, MLA Ajay Mahawar, and North-East District BJP President UK Chaudhary. The programme is part of the BJP's 'Seva Samarpan Pakhwada', observed from June 5 to 21.
Gupta stated that the Delhi Government has accelerated development works across the constituency. 'Development works worth over Rs 300 crore have been approved in the Karawal Nagar Assembly constituency during the past year through the Chief Minister's Development Fund, MLA Fund, and the Yamuna Paar Development Board. Several key projects have been accelerated in the area,' she said.
Scope of the Sewer Project
Announcing the sewer project, Gupta said, 'The work for the project has commenced, which will significantly speed up sewer infrastructure development in Sonia Vihar, Milan Garden, Chauhan Patti, Sabhapur Extension, and other areas. In addition, efforts are continuously being made to replace old water supply lines, mechanically clean aging sewer systems, and improve drinking water supply.'
Malhotra highlighted the Centre's contribution to Delhi's infrastructure development. 'For 11 of the last 12 years, the BJP was in the opposition in Delhi, yet Prime Minister Narendra Modi continuously provided development infrastructure to the city. Numerous roads, metro projects, and the Delhi–Meerut rail line were developed, while Bharat Mandapam and the new complex in Dwarka have transformed Delhi into a world-class convention and meeting destination,' he added.
Referring to the new project, Malhotra added, 'Along with providing Karawal Nagar the sewer development project, we have also succeeded in nearly cleaning Yamuna from Sonia Vihar to Wazirabad.'
Additional Initiatives
The CM also informed residents that three Atal Canteens have already been launched in the area and three Arogya Mandirs have been approved to strengthen healthcare facilities. These initiatives are part of the government's broader efforts to improve the quality of life in the constituency.
