New Delhi, February 26

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday inaugurated the Underground Wiring Project in Chandni Chowk area of the national capital.

Speaking to the reporters on the occasion, CM Rekha termed the place "historic" and said that culture, heritage, and tradition can all be experienced in one location. She asserted that the underground wiring project will provide relief to the residents of Chandni Chowk from the web of electric poles and cables that had long troubled them.

"Chandni Chowk is a historic place where culture, heritage, and tradition can all be experienced in one location. Therefore, its development holds great significance. Today, we have begun laying underground power lines in the area under a Rs 160 crore project from our Ministry of Power... This initiative will provide relief to the residents of Chandni Chowk from the web of electric poles and cables that had long troubled them," CM Rekha Gupta said.

CM Rekha Gupta on Wednesday released the one-year report card of her government, highlighting achievements across various sectors as the BJP-led administration completed its first year in office.

Speaking on the occasion, the CM said, "These 365 days were the days that changed the course of Delhi, and the coming 4 years will change the condition of Delhi. Taking new decisions in the interest of the people of Delhi and carrying out development works in Delhi is our daily routine. On completion of one year, I congratulate the people of Delhi."

Rekha Gupta elaborated on her government's performance, stating, "Today's report card reflects the facts of our one year of hard work and change. This government is not a government of promises, but of results. This government is not a government of announcements, but of action."

She added, "In one year, we have tried to take Delhi from stagnation to progress. We tried to take it from excuses to solutions, from advertisements to development. With every step we took, the government focused on less paperwork and more work. I can say that the government in Delhi today does not engage in poster politics, does not engage in tweet politics. We have transformed Delhi's work culture. We offer solutions, unlike previous governments, who used to make noise."

Rs 160 crore seems like a huge amount for wiring. While the project is good, I hope there is transparency and the funds are used efficiently. The government should focus on basic amenities like water and sanitation with equal vigor.

As a resident of Old Delhi, this is a welcome move. The tangled wires not only looked bad but caused frequent power cuts during monsoons. Kudos to the CM for initiating this. Now, please fix the traffic and parking chaos next!

Good development work. Chandni Chowk is the heart of Delhi and its charm was being lost. Hope this project includes proper planning for future maintenance too. Action over announcements any day! 👍

The report card sounds impressive, but one year is too short a time to judge. Let's see if the underground wiring actually gets completed on time and within budget. Many such projects in Delhi get delayed for years.

This is excellent for tourism. When foreign visitors come to Chandni Chowk, the first thing they notice is the messy cables. A cleaner, safer infrastructure will enhance the experience. Hope they don't dig up the place repeatedly after this.
