Delhi Gets a Development Boost: Kejriwal Unveils Infrastructure Overhaul
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced a significant overhaul of the city’s infrastructure development process. The aim is to expedite project clearances and boost much-needed improvements across the capital.
A crucial element of this plan is the creation of a Rs 1,400 crore Chief Minister’s Development Fund. This fund will be used to finance projects proposed by MLAs, directly addressing local needs.
To streamline the process, payment mechanisms are being simplified. Furthermore, the Delhi Schedule of Rates 2023 will be implemented across all projects, bringing greater transparency and efficiency.
A landmark decision grants the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) the power to undertake development work in unauthorized colonies. This move promises to finally address the long-standing infrastructural deficit in these areas.
This initiative holds immense significance for Delhi’s future. Addressing infrastructure gaps, particularly in unauthorized colonies, will significantly improve the lives of millions and boost the city’s overall development trajectory.
