Delhi PWD fills 3,400 potholes in one-day blitz

Delhi PWD fills 3,400 potholes in one-day blitz

The one-day campaign to fill 3,400 potholes began on Tuesday with PWD Minister Parvesh Verma visiting the Chittaranjan Park area in South Delhi to oversee the work.

The Public Works Department (PWD) has pressed around 200 maintenance vans and 1,000 workers and officials into the campaign across the national capital.

"Today a historic initiative has started across Delhi. In a single day, the work of filling 3,400 potholes has started on 1,400 km of PWD roads. This is no ordinary repair, it is an honest attempt to make Delhi safe, beautiful and accessible," said Verma in a post on X in Hindi.

Our team has been in the field since morning pictures are coming from every corner, he added.

Several ministers and the BJP MLAs hailed the government's initiative and posted pictures on social media platforms of pothole repair work going on in their respective constituencies.

"These potholes were damaging the roads for the past several years. Hence, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took this decision that in one day 3,400 potholes will be filled," Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa told reporters.

The PWD earlier identified and geo-tagged all potholes on the 1,400 kilometers of road network under its jurisdiction just before the monsoon.

Around 60 per cent of the potholes had been filled by 12 pm, said officials.
