It's great to see the CM attending school functions and community fests. Leaders should be visible and accessible to the public. The Anandam Fest looked vibrant in the pictures!

While launching IT initiatives is good, I hope the GNCTD focuses on basic issues first. Our local mohalla clinics need better facilities and many roads are in terrible condition. Infrastructure is important, but so is daily governance.

Connecting Delhi and Meerut with rapid rail is a visionary project. It will boost the economy of the entire region. My brother works in Noida and lives in Ghaziabad - this will cut his travel time by half! Jai Hind!

Good to see state and central government projects moving forward. The PM inaugurating it gives it the importance it deserves. Hope the maintenance is top-notch, unlike some of our other public transport which deteriorates quickly.

The IT initiatives sound promising. If they can digitize more government services and reduce the need to visit offices for every small thing, it will be a huge relief for citizens like us. Less corruption and more transparency, please!
