Delhi Chief Minister Atishi inspected the condition of roads in the Okhla area of the national capital

This is part of the Delhi government's road assessment and repair plan

The Delhi Chief Minister had announced that various Aam Aadmi Party ministers have been assigned responsibility for different road areas in the city

Atishi will oversee South and South East Delhi, Saurabh Bharadwaj is in charge of East Delhi, Gopal Rai will handle North East Delhi, Imran Hussain will manage Central and New Delhi, Kailash Gehlot is responsible for South West Delhi and Outer Delhi, while Mukesh Shehrawat oversees North West Delhi

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal inspected several roads along with Atishi and asserted that a report should be prepared on all the roads under the PWD. The AAP supremo also handed over a letter to Atishi in the state assembly urging immediate repair of the damaged roads

Speaking to the media, after inspection of the condition of roads in the Okhla area, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said, "For two days, Arvind Kejriwal and I inspected the roads of Delhi and found that the condition of roads is very bad... Arvind Kejriwal has given a call to all the party MLAs and ministers to work towards restoring the roads of Delhi at the earliest. Every inch of the 1400 km stretched PWD roads will be inspected. In the next three to four months, all roads will be restored. We will try to give pothole-free roads to the people of Delhi by Diwali. The opposition did everything it could to stop us from working. Now that Arvind Kejriwal is out of the jail, we will work under his guidance"

Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia inspected the condition of roads in the Patparganj area of Delhi

"On the instructions of Arvind Kejriwal, I and Saurabh Bharadwaj inspected a few roads in Delhi. We observed that many roads were in bad condition. In some places, work was going on and the road had been dug up for the last 7-8 months. Potholes have been left open in some places. We will work on it and the roads will be renovated. BJP has destroyed all the roads of Delhi to trouble the people of Delhi... Now that Arvind Kejriwal is back, all the pending work will be completed quickly... Arvind Kejriwal has instructed the CM as well as all ministers to work on a war footing and work on the conditions of roads in Delhi," Sisodia said while speaking to the media
