Focus on Development in Previously Neglected Areas
CM Gupta said that the BJP-led Delhi government has prioritised infrastructure development in areas that were neglected for years.
Speaking about the Tri Nagar constituency, she said the area had faced issues related to poor drainage, slum development, and the condition of residential blocks and flats.
She added that residents are now experiencing a government focused on development and improvement of basic facilities.
Delhi Inaugurates 45 New Ayushman Arogya Mandirs
During the programme, Chief Minister Gupta inaugurated an Ayushman Arogya Mandir equipped with modern healthcare facilities, including:
- Dental clinic
- Eye care services
- Digital X-ray facility
- Free diagnostic testing
She described the facility as a “mini-hospital” designed to provide quality healthcare services close to people’s homes.
The Chief Minister also announced the inauguration of 45 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs across Delhi through the programme.
With this expansion, the total number of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the national capital has increased to 415, including the earlier 370 centres.
Government Claims Improvement in Monsoon Waterlogging Situation
Discussing civic infrastructure improvements, CM Gupta said Delhi witnessed a significant reduction in waterlogging during the current monsoon season compared to previous years.
She highlighted that areas which traditionally faced severe water accumulation, including Minto Bridge and ITO, saw improved conditions due to better preparedness and continuous monitoring by the government.
The Chief Minister said the administration remained focused on improving drainage systems and addressing civic challenges.
Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to Provide Accessible Healthcare
Comparing the new healthcare centres with previous health initiatives, CM Gupta said Ayushman Arogya Mandirs are designed to provide comprehensive medical facilities rather than limited services.
She stated that these centres will help economically weaker sections access quality healthcare services near their homes without facing financial difficulties.
Delhi Government to Introduce Right to Service Act
CM Rekha Gupta also announced that the Delhi Cabinet has approved the proposed Right to Service Act, which will be introduced during the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Delhi Assembly.
The proposed law aims to make government services time-bound and improve accountability in public administration.
According to the Chief Minister:
- Government services will have fixed timelines
- Delays in service delivery will invite action
- Officials responsible for unnecessary delays or harassment may face personal penalties
The move is aimed at increasing transparency and improving government responsiveness toward citizens.
