Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta addressed her Independence Day function at Chhatrasal Stadium, asserting that her government is developing a model for Delhi that other states should emulate. Gupta emphasized the importance of swift decision-making and timely project completion, adding that the government ensures welfare benefits reach people promptly.
She noted that decisions taken in Delhi can guide the entire nation and expressed confidence that Delhi's development model will set new benchmarks across the country by India's centenary of independence. The CM highlighted initiatives for women, including the issuance of over 1.8 million pink cards to facilitate free bus travel.
In terms of transport and clean mobility, Gupta pointed out Delhi's emergence as an "EV city," with 4,500 electric buses and associated infrastructure.
