Delhi Government Plans to Repair 600 Kilometres of Roads by December
Delhi Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma has resumed road repair projects aiming to fix 600 kilometres of roads by December, following delays caused by disrupted bitumen supply and price increases linked to the West Asia conflict. Inspections emphasize quality and durability, with third-party audits by Netaji Subhas University of Technology and contractors responsible for five-year maintenance. Work is scheduled to avoid monsoon and winter months when conditions hinder road surfacing, with phased revamping of Delhi's 1,400-kilometre road network underway.
