She claimed that many inhabitants of the area detailed how the deteriorating infrastructure creates obstacles in their daily lives, from commuting difficulties to delays in emergency medical assistance. ” Streets of Govindpuri are broken and every day elderly and children are meeting with accidents,” she claimed.
She said , “The condition of Delhi has deteriorated drastically. Whether it’s an affluent neighbourhood or a slum, roads are broken everywhere, and massive garbage piles have become a common sight. Kalkaji, the Chief Minister’s own constituency, is no exception. Roads in the area are completely broken, causing daily injuries to elderly residents and children.”
She further said that as a Chief Minister and PWD Minister, it is Atishi’s responsibility to address these issues.The parliamentarian also wondered if the CM cannot fix the roads and infrastructure in her own constituency, how can she claim to improve the rest of Delhi.Maliwal called for immediate action from the government to prioritize infrastructure development and address the pressing needs of Kalkaji’s residents, stressing that such neglect is unacceptable in any part of Delhi.
Meanwhile, the MP had earlier visited several other parts of the city in the recent past, and highlighted the civic woes, asking people concerned for resolving the same.
