Atal Canteen at Rs. 5 is a blessing for daily wage workers and students near Badli Mor. Food security with dignity is so important. Hope the quality of food is consistently good. More such canteens needed across all metro stations!

Good initiative, but execution is key. We've seen many such projects announced with great fanfare, only for them to become dysfunctional in a year due to lack of funds or maintenance. Hope the CM's directive for quality and transparency is followed strictly.

As a resident of Pitampura, the new Arogya Mandir in VP Block is a huge relief. My elderly parents will benefit greatly. Special focus on senior citizens and women is very welcome. Thank you for addressing local infrastructure needs like the Meenakshi Temple Road too.

Visiting Delhi for work, and it's impressive to see this integrated approach to development. Healthcare, nutrition, and infrastructure tackled together. The road improvement should help with the notorious traffic. Hope the model is replicated.

Free diagnostics and medicines at the doorstep? If this works as promised, it will reduce the burden on big hospitals for primary care. The challenge will be ensuring a regular supply of medicines. All the best to the team implementing this! 👍
