Saxena, who headed the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) when the project was launched in 2021, said the initiative shows how “a small oasis of hope and regeneration in the arid landscape of Rajasthan has emerged as a replicable model for fighting desertification and infusing life to a dying earth.”
L-G Saxena remembered the martyrs and the countless heroes of India's freedom struggle and said, "It is because of their supreme sacrifices that our generation has been living freely and peacefully."
Lt. Governor (LG) VK Saxena has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to extend the single window camps for Pradhan Mantri-Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana (PM- UDAY) to March, 2025.
Saxena’s directive follows the 9th review meeting of the State-Level Committee for the Narco Coordination Centre (NCORD).
In a post on X, Saxena posted, “It is a matter of great joy to share that in the last two days, 6,654 people enthusiastically participated in 10 special camps in the unauthorized colonies”.
After a recent meeting of the Narcotics Coordination Centre (NCORD) at Raj Niwas, the LG reviewed the decisions of the 9th State Level Committee and discussed strategic measures to eradicate drug trafficking and abuse in Delhi.
The BJP MLAs urged him to ensure that the AAP government presents 12 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports in the Assembly session, which will kick off on Friday.
