From cleanliness to energy and public amenities, work is being carried out across all sectors, she said, adding that new waste-to-energy and e-waste plants have been launched to eliminate mountains of garbage.

According to the CM, under Prime Minister Modi’s guidance, Delhi is now moving towards a sustainable and modern future, and assured that her government stands by the citizens during every challenge and is committed to round-the-clock service delivery. Stressing that transparency, public participation, and efficiency are the pillars of her administration, she said, “With public support, we are writing a golden chapter in Delhi’s development.”

Criticising past governments, she alleged that they only relied on advertisements and false promises, leaving Delhi lagging behind for 11 years and depriving citizens of basic amenities.

Speaking on the occasion, Power Minister Ashish Sood said that the CM is reaching out to every corner of Delhi and accelerating development work. He highlighted the electricity production on a large scale and EV charging projects in the Narela area, noting that three new projects were launched on Friday from the same platform.

Sood emphasised that launching 11 major projects in just two days demonstrates the speed of development in Delhi.

Meanwhile, officials said that the 25 kW solar energy plant at the Delhi Jal Board Rithala building will generate over 28,000 units of electricity per year. The project is part of the Delhi government’s ambitious plan to install solar plants on government buildings.

Regarding the Mubarkapur Dabas grid substation, the government, through Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), is working on providing reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply to the surrounding areas. With a capacity of 50 MVA, the substation will supply power to 16 feeder areas, strengthening the supply network and ensuring continuous, quality electricity.

The fire station, spread over approximately 1,000 square metres in Narela includes facilities for filling water from Delhi Jal Board overhead tanks and borewells. The modern station features a shed for fire vehicles, maintenance rooms, and storage for firefighting equipment and materials.
