The civic body plans to re-carpet Mother Teresa Crescent Marg, Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Marg, Jantar Mantar Road, Raisina Road, Sansad Marg, Bangla Sahib Road, Red Cross Road, Bhai Veer Singh Marg and RK Ashram Marg. The re-carpeting work is being undertaken after a study of these stretches by Central Road Research Institute as the defect liability period of all the 12 stretches is now over and longitudinal cracks were being observed on their surface, an NDMC official said.

NDMC vice-chairman Satish Upadhyay said that even though the council meeting on Wednesday was disorderly, it was decided that some urgent matters must be approved so that timely execution can be ensured. “We have cleared the proposals related to the road rejuvenation in wake of G20 meetings as the city should put up its best foot forward in front of our visitors and delegates. We have also approved the rules related to cellular towers while the matter pertaining to expanding the electric vehicle charging stations will be taken up later. In principle, we wish to expand the charging station network to promote electric vehicles,” he added.
