Maintaining that development activities had remained stalled in the Capital under the previous governments, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday inaugurated development projects worth approximately Rs 100 crore in the RK Puram Assembly.
Under these projects, roads in the area will be constructed and repaired, old and dilapidated community platforms (chaupals) will be renovated, community centres will be upgraded, and parks will be beautified, officials said.
To promote public health, open gym equipment will also be installed in parks, while boundary walls will be constructed at locations where required.
“Under previous governments, Members of Parliament and MLAs had access to limited funds, due to which local development projects remained stalled for years,” Gupta said, adding that immediately after assuming office, the BJP government released a budget of nearly Rs 700 crore to ensure development works worth Rs 10 crore in each Assembly constituency.
The programme was attended by MP Bansuri Swaraj, RK Puram MLA Shri Anil Sharma, Municipal Councillor Shri Dharamveer Singh and District President Shri Ravindra Chaudhary.
