In a move poised to reshape RK Puram’s skyline, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta launched an ambitious Rs 100 crore project portfolio today. The ceremony in the heart of the upscale locality drew hundreds, signaling strong public support for the administration’s welfare agenda.
Key highlights include revamped public parks, intelligent LED streetlights spanning 10 km, comprehensive drainage networks, and state-of-the-art community complexes. Gupta, donning her dual hat as local representative, passionately articulated, ‘These aren’t mere constructions; they are lifelines for our community’s future.’
Financially, the breakdown reveals strategic planning: Rs 28 crore for green initiatives promoting biodiversity; Rs 32 crore fortifying against waterlogging; Rs 20 crore for digital infrastructure like Wi-Fi hotspots; and Rs 20 crore for inclusive facilities serving diverse age groups.
The backdrop to this launch is Delhi’s intensifying civic challenges, from pollution to potholes. By prioritizing RK Puram—a microcosm of the capital’s aspirations—Gupta’s government aims to demonstrate executable promises. Political analysts view it as a masterstroke ahead of polls.
Voices from the ground echo approval. ‘We’ve waited years for these upgrades,’ said a shopkeeper. Engineers assure phased execution, minimizing disruptions, with 60% completion targeted by year-end.
Looking ahead, this could catalyze similar investments citywide, fostering equitable growth. CM Gupta concluded on an optimistic note: ‘Together, we’ll build a Delhi that shines for all.’ The projects exemplify how targeted public spending can bridge urban gaps effectively.
