The historic Delhi Assembly complex has recently been in the news over security concerns – ranging from an incident in which a man rammed his SUV through the iron gate and boom barrier into the premises, to bomb threat emails received on the official ID that later turned out to be hoaxes.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Saturday said that local infrastructure must deliver visible and tangible change on the ground, emphasising that roads, water supply, and sanitation are central to dignified urban living and must be strengthened with clarity and urgency.
Accordingly, the departments have been mandated to submit a comprehensive Action Taken Report (ATR) by July 31, 2026, clearly indicating the status of implementation as of 30 June 2026.
The incident took place at around 2 pm when the intruder drove a white Tata Sierra SUV through Gate No. 2, an entry point reserved strictly for VIPs.
A masked man drove a UP-registered car straight into the Delhi Assembly, creating panic among staff. He briefly intruded, targeted the Speaker’s office, and vanished before anyone could stop him.
During his address, Sood said, “Today, I bring before this House a permanent solution to a long-ignored issue that affects millions of parents and children in Delhi.”
The BJP MLAs mentioned that the success of the two military operations also exposed all those who had doubts on the country's armed forces.
Union Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal is scheduled to inaugurate the major upgrades to the the Delhi Assembly, including the installation of a 500 kW rooftop solar power plant and launch the E-Vidhan (Paperless Legislative Assembly) system on Sunday.
According to an official document, Union Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal will inaugurate both initiatives on Sunday.
According to the Delhi Assembly Secretariat, the three-day National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) training programme for MLAs concluded on Wednesday.
