Municipal Corporation of Delhi will be taking charge of street-scaping works of roads around venues, Walia said to reporters after the meeting today. And an amount of Rs. 21.95 crore has been sanctioned for it, on which Jagannath Marg and Lodi Road will cost Rs 3.40 crore and Rs 18.55 crore respectively.
“The agencies concerned have been asked to implement all basic ingredients of the project with due care and commitment as the facilities to be developed would become a permanent feature in the Capital,” Walia said.
