New Delhi, March 20

Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Friday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sharing thoughts of building 'Viksit Delhi@2047', an official said.

L-G Sandhu sat before the Prime Minister in his office and briefed him about his experience in the Lok Niwas and the steps planned to achieve PM Modi's Vision for Viksit Delhi@2047, said an official aware of the interaction.

In a message on X, Sandhu wrote, "Called on Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji earlier today."

On March 13, Sandhu called on President Droupadi Murmu and discussed issues related to the national capital.

In a message on X, the L-G wrote, "Honoured to call on Hon'ble President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji and receive her guidance for the road ahead. Grateful for her encouragement."

Earlier, the L-G shared his experience about enjoying the spring blooms in Amrit Udyan on the Rashtrapati Bhavan premises.

Posting his photo clicked in the famous lawns of the premises, he wrote, "A lovely walk through the famed gardens of Rashtrapati Bhavan this forenoon. Nice to meet many Dilliwalas enjoying the spring blooms."

During the day, the L-G also reviewed the security, sanitation and health situation with officials. After a meeting with Rupesh Kumar Thakur, Secretary (Health), and Prashant Goel, Additional Chief Secretary (Food and Civil Supplies), Sandhu wrote on X, "Emphasis on preparedness, coordination and effective response."

The L-G was also greeted by the Delhi Police Commissioner and the Municipal Commissioner during the day.

Sandhu, who took over as the new Lieutenant Governor of Delhi on March 11, also brainstormed with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her Cabinet colleagues earlier this week.

He discussed development and security issues in these meetings with officials. The Lok Niwas, in a message on social media platform X, said: "The Chief Minister, GNCT of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, accompanied by her Cabinet colleagues, met Delhi L-G Taranjit Singh Sandhu. They apprised the L-G of ongoing initiatives towards building a #ViksitDilli."

"The Delhi L-G underlined key challenges and opportunities, and the collective resolve to develop Delhi as a global capital aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision," the Lok Niwas added.

Viksit Delhi 2047 is a great vision. But these meetings and photo-ops need to be followed by concrete action. As a resident, my immediate concerns are pollution, traffic, and water supply. Let's hope the 'collective resolve' mentioned actually fixes these basics first.

It's nice to see the L-G appreciating Amrit Udyan and meeting common 'Dilliwalas'. A leader who enjoys the city's beauty and interacts with people is a good start. Hope this connection with the public continues beyond the gardens.

Coordination between L-G and the elected government is crucial for Delhi. The last few years saw too much friction. If CM Rekha Gupta and L-G Sandhu can work together on development, it will be a big win for the capital. Fingers crossed!

All these high-level meetings are fine, but what about the municipal issues? Garbage on streets, clogged drains, and uneven roads need urgent attention. The Municipal Commissioner greeting him is one thing, getting the MCD to work is another. Hope that was discussed.

A global capital vision is exciting! But Delhi also needs to preserve its soul and history. Development should be sustainable and inclusive, improving life for all residents, not just building shiny new infrastructure. Jai Hind!
