Sixty one important roads and twenty-three hotels associated with the G20 summit are being monitored by Delhi LG VK Saxena for their upkeep and revamp, Raj Niwas said on Monday.
The recent rains and flooding had slowed down the progress of work and also caused substantial damage to revamp, especially in the central district along Ring Road/Yamuna and the Samadhi Complex, officials said.
This prompted the LG to take stock of the situation afresh and ensure targeted efforts by ensuring inter and intra-agency coordination.
Several areas of the city were flooded as the water levels of the Yamuna rose following heavy rainfall and the release of water from Hathnikund barrage.
The flooding had led to the closure of several key stretches including Outer Ring Road and Vikas Marg.
“Sixty one important roads along with the venue outside ITPO and 23 hotels, associated with the forthcoming Summit, spread over seven districts in the capital, are being monitored by the LG for their upkeep, sprucing up and revamp. Of these, 36 roads and 17 hotels are located in the New Delhi District with South-West District having just, two roads and one hotel. The seven districts where such projects are located include New Delhi, South East, South, Central, Shahdara, South West and East,” said an official.
