Key Points

Speaking to media persons, CM Gupta said, "Delhi govt is working 24x7 for the people of Delhi. Whether the people of Delhi are facing difficulties because of weather, roads, or potholes, we will be working on each and every segment. We have to finish the backlog of 27 years."

Highlighting government's efforts to resolve waterlogging situations in the national capital, CM Gupta said, "Record-breaking rain was registered in Delhi, but it took us an hour to improve the waterlogging situation. CM, Minister, MLAs were on the streets yesterday for the people of Delhi. Whether it is Sunday or Monday, the Secretariat opens every day and work is done here."

On Friday, Delhi recorded 78mm of rainfall till 8:30 am, the second highest in 24 hours since 1901. The most rainfall was recorded at 119.3 mm on May 20, 2021, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The highest rainfall was recorded at Lodhi Road - 78 mm, just ahead of Safdarjung Airport, which recorded 77mm. According to IMD, moisture and wind convergence over the area from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, assisted by a persistent, highly favourable synoptic pattern at both lower and middle tropospheric levels, resulted in heavy rainfall.

Prior to this, Delhi CM launche the 'Medico-Legal Examination and Postmortem Report (MedLEaPR) web portal program and said, "One of the main points in the three laws brought by the central government was that all our postmortem reports or medico-legal reports should be digitised. Delhi Govt has started work on MedLEaPR today. After this, all the reports will be brought in digital form and its access will be in limited hands... There will be a very good coordination between hospitals and investigation agencies... This is a very good opportunity. This will prove to be a milestone in the journey of our judicial process...I thank the new officials of the government and all the ministers."

Speaking at the occasion, CM Rekha Gupta said that this digital platform has been developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC). "It enables effective reporting of medico-legal cases (MLCs) and post-mortem reports (PMRs) across health institutions. The goal of the system is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the medico-legal documentation process," CM Gupta said.

Delhi Minister Ashish Sood, Chief Secretary Dharmendra and senior officers of the Delhi Police, Home Department and NIC were also present on the occasion.

CM Gupta further stated, "With the launch of MedLEaPR, transparency and speed in judicial processes in Delhi will increase. Electronic submission of medico-legal and post-mortem reports will not only reduce paperwork but will also ensure accountability through a centralised database and audit trail. Our government is committed to providing fast, transparent, and trustworthy services to the public through the use of technology. Today's launch is a strong example of our commitment to Digital India and e-Governance."
