He added that the Delhi government is working in a phased manner to strengthen the roads of Delhi. As these roads were constructed a long ago, the quality of the roads has deteriorated in these areas which are affecting the commuters.

Strengthening work on these two stretches includes maintenance and upkeep of pavements, central verges and service lanes of the entire road stretch, including other allied works such as lane marking, white-washing of parapet walls, painting of kerbstones/railings, etc. Regarding Goyala Deenpur road which is in a low-lying area, the government has asked the PWD to raise the height of the road to eliminate the issues of waterlogging in the area during monsoon season.

Another project approved by Deputy CM includes remodelling of the drain alongside GT road from opposite Mansarovar Park to Kendriya Vidyalaya at the cost of Rs 1.90 crores. The project will help in eliminating the issue of waterlogging in adjacent colonies as well as on the road. 

Sisodia directed the officials to also focus on the beautification of these roads. Facilities to be developed during the strengthening of roads - maintenance and upkeep of pavements, central verges and service lanes of the entire road stretch; allied works such as lane marking, white-washing of parapet walls, painting of kerbstones/railings; plantation on central verges and roadsides; maintenance of streetlights.
