Delhi Government Approves Multi-Utility Duct Project with Pilot in Chandni Chowk
The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has approved a multi-utility duct project to reduce repeated road digging and traffic disruptions. A pilot will launch in Chandni Chowk, featuring shared underground corridors for electricity, water, gas, and fire-hydrant networks. An expert committee including officials from power discoms, the Delhi Jal Board, and Public Works Department will oversee the project. The ducts aim to improve coordination among agencies, ease maintenance, and protect utility lines during excavation.
