Earlier on November 3, the LG visited Narela and reviewed the various initiatives being undertaken by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for development and infrastructure augmentation of the sub-city. He also took stock of the ancillary works being undertaken by Delhi Police with regard to security, MCD with regard to sanitation and other services, DJB with regard to water supply and sewerage and the Transport Department with regard to DTC transit connectivity.
Underlining that the people of Delhi had exhibited robust appetite for the ready-to-move-in flats, reflected in their unprecedented brisk sales, the LG emphasised that it was the duty of all agencies and stakeholders to ensure that the people who buy these houses are provided with all required civic amenities and security. He also commended the DDA for bringing in innovative schemes, including discounts on flats in Narela, with an aim of providing affordable housing to the people of Delhi. The LG emphasised the need to expedite development to enable Narela to emerge as a major educational destination. He stated that development in the sub-city under the Land Pooling Policy would catalyse sustainable and planned urban growth, contributing to the vision of a Viksit Dilli and, in turn, a Viksit Bharat.
