Laying the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Rohtak Road Friday afternoon, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said: “It was a long due request from the people in the area, and the ones travelling on it… Every road undergoes repair in five years, but this one was made nine years ago and overusage has led to damage.”
The project will be undertaken at a cost of Rs 25 crore and is expected to be completed in six months. For years, residents and commuters have been complaining of deep potholes and broken footpaths that lead to accidents, and of choking pipes that cause waterlogging in the monsoon. PWD officials attributed this to problems in the drainage system and overuse of the road.
