The state unit chief of the saffron party also urged children to take a pledge and plant trees, which he said will help in reducing air pollution and also add to the greenery in the area.

The stadium is being reconstructed by the MCD under the Gramodaya Yojana, under the guidance of local councilor Amit Kharkhari, and is expected to help nurture the talent of athletes from rural areas.

Sachdeva highlighted that the new stadium will include two badminton courts, a basketball court, a walking track, and a football stadium, while he expressed gratitude to the Lieutenant Governor for allocating Rs 960 crore under the Gramodaya Yojana for the development of rural Delhi based on requests from villagers.

In addition to the stadium, the Rs 14 crore development package also includes the repair of 102 small lanes in the area, Sachdeva said.

According to the Delhi BJP chief, people of the national capital now believe that the city is on the path to development, and the journey to make it the capital of a developed India starts from its villages.

He assured that the BJP, along with the government, remains committed to serving the people and maintaining their trust.

MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat noted that the blessings of the public have enabled continuous development in Delhi, and affirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining the public’s trust.
