Visitors will carry back good image of Delhi: PWD Minister

Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Raj Kumar Chouhan today expressed confidence that the visitors during the Commonwealth Games will carry back a good impression about the city.

''Delhi is getting ready to showcase its world-class infrastructure during Commonwealth Games. We are sure that the visitors will take back a good image of the city known as a city of fly-overs,'' he said.

While inspecting the Ghazipur intersection underpass, to be opened for commuters from tomorrow, Mr Chouhan stated that all Games-related projects will be completed within stipulated time as constant monitoring was being done to accelerate the pace of work. The underpass is expected to provide uninterrupted connectivity from Anand Vihar ISBT to Kalyanpuri and vice versa. A three-lane Ghazipur crossing grade separator at NH24 would also be completed by the end of this month, the minister said. Citing the number of development projects to come up before the games, Mr Chouhan averred that mega-sports event has provided an excellent opportunity to undertake a large number of developmental works with speed, quality and excellence.

''We have received this opportunity after 1982 when we hosted Asiad games,'' he said.
