CAPITAL’S WATER PROBLEMS TO BE TAKEN UP
WITH DELHI GOVERNMENT
WORK LAUNCHED FOR MORE BOUNDARY
WALLS IN R K PURAM
Minister for Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation
Shri Ananth Kumar assured that he would take up the problems
of scarcity of water and electricity in Delhi with the Delhi government
for ensuring their adequate supply for the residents of the national
capital. Laying the Foundation Stone of the Boundary Walls in
the Sector 5 & 9 at R.K. Puram, here today, Shri Ananth Kumar
disclosed that he had already discussed the water problem of Delhi
with the Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri Om Prakash Chautala,
and that he urged Shri Chautala to increase the allotment of water
for Delhi.
Stressing that the Government is responsive to
the needs and requirements of the residents, Shri Ananth Kumar
stated that the construction of boundary walls in R.K.Puram would
fulfill the long pending needs of the residents of the colony.
"Requirement of boundary walls in R.K. Puram
and other Government Colonies was being felt since long to provide
a feeling of security and protection for the residents. Various
sectors in R.K. Puram were constructed more than 40 years back
with an open layout. Perhaps at that time confinement of various
sectors of this colony was not felt necessary. However, with changing
times, providing peripheral confinement has become necessary to
restrict thoroughfare and to instill a feeling of security in
the residents. Such confinement would also provide protection
from the threat of encroachment", the Minister added.
Later, Chairman of the National Sports Council
and Member of Parliament Shri V. K. Malhotra inaugurated the Boundary
Walls at Sector –2,3,4,7,8 and 12 in R. K.Puram, New Delhi. The
boundary walls, constructed at a cost of about 2.5 crore, have
been designed in such a manner that it not only provides adequate
security but also maintains open character of the colonies.
