New Delhi, April 19 (IANS) Minister for Delhi Social Welfare and MLA from Bawana Assembly Constituency, Ravinder Indraj Singh, inaugurated the newly constructed Phirni Road in Dariyapur Kalan, developed at an approximate cost of Rs 5.73 crore, an official said on Sunday.
The road connects the Dada Maldev Talab side to Nangal Mor Road in Bawana, thereby significantly enhancing connectivity in the region.
This important project has been completed through the dedicated efforts of the minister under the Delhi Village Development Board (DVDB) fund, with key support from the Irrigation and Flood Control Department, the official said in a statement.
Pending for nearly 20 years, the project has now been successfully completed, marking a major achievement for local residents, the minister said.
Despite consistent public demand over the years, no substantial action had been taken earlier. With the completion of this road, development in Dariyapur and nearby areas has gained new momentum, he said.
The construction of this Phirni Road will provide thousands of residents with smooth, safe and faster connectivity. It will reduce travel time and improve traffic management in the area. The project represents a significant step towards strengthening basic infrastructure in rural parts of Delhi, he added.
Local residents said that villages such as Dariyapur and Sultanpur Dabas had long remained on the margins of development. However, with ongoing works in the region, visible improvements are now being experienced, leading to a better quality of life.
Ravinder Indraj Singh said that the development of village and rural areas remains a matter of special concern and priority.
He emphasised that the government is committed to ensuring the availability of all essential facilities in rural regions and will continue to undertake more development works in the future.
He stated that strong infrastructure and improved connectivity form the foundation of progress for any region.
