DelhiLieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Tuesday reviewed two projects in the Lutyens’ area and stressed the need for strengthened water conservation infrastructure and sustainable urban development.

The LG office in a post on X on Tuesday said the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) chairperson and engineering officials gave a briefing on the Khan Market project’s progress and implementation as LG Sandhu visited the popular market to inspect the ongoing work.

“Upgrading such iconic public and commercial spaces is essential to enhancing civic amenities, improving traffic and pedestrian management, and providing a seamless experience for visitors, tourists, and local businesses alike,” the post said.

The NDMC is currently upgrading the middle lane of the Khan Market, which includes improved drainage, pavement strengthening and flooring upgrades. Estimated to cost about Rs 1.21 crore, the project is aimed at replacing worn-out interlocking tiles and improving pedestrian movement in the busy commercial street.

Departments concerned are instructed to expedite the remaining development works while ensuring strict respect for quality and safety benchmarks, the post read.

Further, the LG reviewed the implementation of the Modular rainwater harvesting system at Satya Marg and interacted with the NDMC officers overseeing on-ground execution.
