Delhi: Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena inaugurates column fountains in Dwarka in a boost to urban aesthetics

Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena inaugurates new column fountains in Dwarka as part of DDA's urban beautification and infrastructure upgrade plan.

"The government is committed to the holistic development of the national capital, focusing on cleaner, greener surroundings... - Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena"

New Delhi, January 22

In a significant push towards urban beautification and infrastructure upgradation, Delhi's Lt Governor on Wednesday inaugurated state-of-the-art architectural column fountains at key road junctions in Dwarka Sub-City.

The fountains have been installed at the Sector 6/7 and Sector 5/6 crossings as part of the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) ongoing urban upgradation plan.

MLA Palam Kuldeep Solanki, MLA Matiala Sandeep Sehrawat and Vice Chairman DDA N. Saravana Kumar, along with senior DDA officials, were present at the inauguration.

The project has been executed by DDA under the Lt Governor's vision to transform Dwarka into a world-class residential and commercial hub with enhanced green spaces and modern urban landmarks. The newly installed column fountains are expected to provide a visual relief to thousands of daily commuters passing through these busy junctions.

Addressing the gathering, the Lt Governor said that extensive development work has been undertaken in Dwarka in recent years and assured that the momentum will continue. He added that the government is committed to the holistic development of the national capital, focusing on cleaner, greener surroundings, essential civic amenities, and improved urban aesthetics, in line with the needs of Delhi's growing population.

The column fountains, rising 2.8 metres high and set within a 4.5-metre-diameter sandstone tub crafted from Teak and Rainbow sandstone, combine contemporary architectural design with environmental sensitivity. Equipped with dynamic LED lighting, the fountains transform into vibrant visual landmarks at night, enhancing the overall streetscape. The installations are complemented by floral landscaping and are also expected to help cool the surrounding micro-environment.

Dwarka has witnessed steady development in recent years across sports, residential and civic infrastructure. Facilities such as the Dwarka Golf Course and a proposed sports centre of excellence aim to promote sporting talent and a healthy lifestyle. DDA housing schemes catering to different income groups are also strengthening Dwarka's position as a well-planned residential sub-city.

Several new projects, including the upcoming Bharat Vandana Park, are under development to further enhance Dwarka's cultural and recreational appeal. According to DDA, these initiatives collectively reflect sustained efforts to improve urban facilities and enhance the quality of life for residents of the national capital.

Good initiative, but I hope this isn't just for show. The real issues in Dwarka are waterlogging in monsoons and last-mile connectivity. Beautification is welcome, but basic civic amenities should be the priority. Let's see if the momentum continues as promised.

As a resident of Sector 6, I passed by the new fountain this morning. It does look impressive and adds a nice touch to the junction. The landscaping around it is also well done. Kudos to DDA for this. Hope more such projects come up!

The micro-environment cooling aspect is a smart feature, especially with Delhi's extreme summers. Combining functionality with beauty is the way forward for urban planning. Looking forward to visiting the Bharat Vandana Park too!

Teak and Rainbow sandstone? Sounds like a costly affair. While it's good to have nice landmarks, I hope public money is being used judiciously. The article mentions housing schemes for different income groups - that development is more critical for Delhi's growth.

This is wonderful! Our cities need more green spaces and beautiful public art. It boosts morale and civic pride. Taking my kids to see the fountains this weekend for sure. 😊 Well done to all involved.
