Road coordination committee in Delhi for smooth infra execution

A roadworks coordination committee for inter-agency cooperation for infrastructure works has been formed under the chairmanship of Delhi PWD minister Parvesh Verma, according to instructions from the Prime Minister’s Office, officials aware of the matter said. The committee formation comes against the backdrop of extensive repairs and redevelopment of key stretches, including flyovers and underpasses, where a multiplicity of agencies often led to delays, inefficiencies, and confusion, making the timely completion of road infrastructure challenging, officials said. By improving coordination, we aim to minimise disruptions and enhance the overall quality of our road networks, which will also help curb pollution and improve air quality,” Verma said. Among key stretches that need constant rework or repairs due to heavy traffic footfall traverse Moti Bagh, Mayur Vihar, Chirag Delhi, Punjabi Bagh and busy Ashram Chowk.
