New Delhi : The Hazrat Nizamuddin area, which houses a few of the Capital’s historic monuments, was supposed to get a facelift for the Commonwealth Games, but the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was unable to finish the project in time. Now, the civic body has taken up the task again, and it intends to complete it by next year.
If all goes according to plan, the project would ensure better footpaths, greener roads, an enhanced stormwater drainage system and cleaner community toilets.
“The Nizamuddin Basti sees thousands of visitors every day, and it is necessary for the place to be restored in a way that would make the visitors feel comfortable,” says Farhad Suri, councillor of the area and former MCD Mayor. He said the MCD had held consultations with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture before going ahead with the project.
