Restoration and upkeep in focus: Delhi government to divide 1.3-km-long road stretch at Chandni Chowk into 5 parts

The Delhi government has announced plans to divide a 1.3-km-long road stretch in Chandni Chowk into five parts to improve its cleanliness and maintenance. The redevelopment of the area, which was completed in 2021, has seen a decline in upkeep due to internal conflicts between the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Public Works Department.

The new plan, which is estimated to cost Rs 34 crore, involves appointing a private company to handle the upkeep of the entire stretch for three years. This will include cleaning approximately 55,000 sqm of roads, footpaths, vendor zones, and paved areas, as well as deploying security guards, cleaning and sweeping of roads and footpaths, maintenance of public toilets, garbage removal, washing of kerbs and railings, and upkeep of street furniture and other public assets.
