New Infrastructure and Public Amenities
Development activity in Shalimar Bagh and Pitampura received a fresh push on Sunday as Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated and laid the foundation for several projects aimed at improving education, sanitation, road connectivity, electricity infrastructure and public spaces. During her visit to the Shalimar Bagh Assembly constituency, Gupta said the Delhi government’s focus was on ensuring that development reaches beyond major projects and improves everyday life for residents. Chief Minister added better civic facilities should reach every street, colony and citizen across the capital.
Among the key projects inaugurated was the construction of a new school building in BB Block, Shalimar Bagh, aimed at strengthening educational infrastructure in the area. The Chief Minister also launched work to shift open overhead electricity conductors underground in AF Block and along the main road of C&D Block. The move is expected to make the local power network safer and more organised.
In Pitampura, Gupta launched construction of a new road connecting Shri Guru Gobind Singh College with Ring Road. The project, estimated to cost around Rs 2.84 crore, is expected to improve connectivity and make daily commuting easier for residents. She also inaugurated a newly constructed toilet block at Nehru Camp in Haiderpur and a modern waste compactor at SP-TP Block, aimed at strengthening sanitation and waste management in the area.
The Chief Minister also inaugurated beautification and development works in three parks in YP Block and 10 parks in WP Block. The projects are intended to provide residents with cleaner, greener and better-maintained public spaces. Gupta said the government is working towards developing Shalimar Bagh as a model constituency with improved sanitation, public amenities, healthcare access and urban infrastructure.
