A one-kilometre stretch on the old BRT corridor from Sheikh Sarai traffic point to Chirag Dilli – the first sample stretch redeveloped by the Delhi government to meet ‘European road’ standards and boasting of a separate cycle track, dedicated pedestrian zones and street furniture – appears to be suffering from lack of maintenance and upkeep.
The stretch is the first to be revamped under the Chief Minister’s ambitious streetscaping, redevelopment and beautification project, under which the government proposed to develop about 500 km of the city roads.
