Delhi Government Delays Chandni Chowk Underground Wiring Project, Forms Coordination Committee
The Delhi government’s plan to shift overhead cables underground in Chandni Chowk has been delayed due to a denser-than-expected network of utility lines. Originally set to start on two pilot stretches by July, the project now requires redesigning with a wider multi-utility duct. A high-level committee, led by the Additional Chief Secretary (Power) and including multiple agencies, will coordinate efforts to prepare a revised execution plan and minimize disruptions in the densely populated market area.
