With fountains, artefacts and green belts along the lines of G20 Summit stretches, a makeover for the sub-city of Dwarka is next on the agenda of Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. During a recent inspection of the area, the L-G directed officials of all civic bodies concerned to ensure the area is free from encroachment and that pavements and footpaths are made pedestrian-friendly. Heavy rains during the visit provided the LG and accompanying officials a first-hand experience of critical waterlogging points in the area and on-spot instructions were issued to address the issues. Saxena also took stock of several stretches from the underpass that leads to Dwarka and instructed officials to give an aesthetic facelift to the walls using tiles and for potted plants to be placed on the pavements, said officials. In Sectors 7, 8, 9 and other parts, the L-G was particular that there should be proper repair work and symmetry in design so that no hindrances are caused to pedestrians. Saxena also asked the officials to prune overgrown trees and remove plants that had grown on the walls and pathways. The L-G also instructed for statues, artefacts and fountains to be installed at suitable places on these roads and ensure that the entire right of way is provided with a much greener look. He also asked officials to ensure that no drains are left uncovered and hanging wires and unnecessary signage boards are removed. This visit by Saxena comes after his assurance to the people that the whole of Delhi will be developed, beautified and upgraded on lines with the efforts undertaken in the New, Central and South Delhi areas in the run-up to the G20 Summit and that he will be on the roads ensuring this.
