The Public Works Department (PWD) in Delhi has decided to repair and redevelop all footpaths and walkways across the city to make them more accessible and disabled friendly, officials have said. According to officials, footpaths and pavements at several locations and roads are in a poor condition and have been encroached upon.
“Due to the broken pavements and encroachments, pedestrians are having difficulty walking on roads. There are several stretches that are not disabled-friendly and the ramps are missing or broken and constructed improperly. Thus, to make the footpaths accessible, the department has decided to repair all footpaths in the city,” said a senior PWD official.
