Notably, on March 21, Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, along with MLA Ravi Negi, visited a site behind Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, adjacent to NH-24, to review the work and inspect the condition of the roads and drains. During their visit, they observed the poor condition of the drains, which were clogged with silt and encroached upon.
