Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday hailed the power of women as she inaugurated a Jan Seva Kendra (Public Service Centre) at the community centre located in DDA Flats, Rajiv Gandhi Park, in the Kalkaji Assembly constituency.
Speaking at the event, CM Gupta said, “When the MLA, the MP, and the Chief Minister are all women, it is a powerful symbol of women’s leadership and empowerment.” She praised the unwavering commitment of local MLA Shikha Roy, acknowledging her selfless service to the people of the constituency for the past three decades.
She was joined by Parliament Member Bansuri Swaraj and Roy, and other dignitaries during the opening ceremony of the public service centre dedicated to the South Delhi constituency.
Gupta affirmed her support for Delhi’s development and reiterated her commitment to ensuring that the city is not deprived of funds for developmental work.
She spoke at length about the improvements witnessed in the national capital since the BJP-led government took office. “Over the past five months, the face of Delhi has begun to change, with accelerated progress in sewage management, drainage, roadwork, water systems, pollution control, and other public services — the positive impact of which is now clearly visible,” Gupta said.
Bringing relief to traders in Delhi, she announced that markets in the national capital will be allowed to operate 24×7. She also spoke about addressing administrative challenges faced by merchants by introducing a single-window system, which would eliminate the need for repeated visits to government offices for licences.
Concluding her address, the Chief Minister extended her thanks to all party workers, officials, and members of the public present at the event. She assured them that together, they will turn Delhi into a ‘Viksit Delhi’, a Developed Delhi in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a Developed India.
