Delhi CM launches first hi-tech hotline repair van in country, unveils other projects also

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday launched the national capital’s first hotline maintenance van designed to repair live electricity wires without a power cut to the nearby areas.

These vans were launched as part of a pilot project in the Shalimar Bagh assembly constituency. The CM stated that similar vans will soon be seen across other constituencies as well.

According to Gupta, it is for the first time in the country that such an initiative has come into place.

Delhi’s Power Minister Ashish Sood and other important leaders, along with officials, were present on the occasion.

The Chief Minister also inaugurated several projects related to electricity, water, roads, and public conveniences in the assembly constituency.

She informed locals that new street lights are being installed in the area, while across Delhi, more than 44,000 new lights will be installed to further curb dark spots and enhance security.

She also inspected the new road adjoining Ring Road near Guru Gobind Singh College, which has been built with an investment of Rs 12 crore, which is going to enhance connectivity with the Ring Road in the area.

She also announced the new PM Shri School in the Haiderpur area, which will be the first school in the area up to class 12th, and will offer Science subjects in English medium.

She also informed that the Munak Canal passing through the area will soon be maintained by the Delhi government, and proper fencing or barricading will be done on both its sides to prevent mishaps, while proper ghats will be built for Chhat Puja.

Meanwhile, the CM has said that the employees with the power department met her at the secretariat, expressing gratitude towards the government for resolving their pending promotion issue.

According to her, over 100 employees got the promotion benefit, which is something like getting justice, rather than just an administrative decision.
