The projects were inaugurated by Delhi’s Social Welfare, SC/ST/OBC Welfare, Cooperatives and Elections Minister, Ravinder Indraj Singh, who is also the Bawana MLA. According to the government, the works include strengthening village roads, constructing cement concrete pavements, developing RCC drains, and undertaking other measures to improve drainage and civic amenities.
