As part of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's effort to rid Delhi of potholes by Diwali, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and the ministers on her team went on to the street today to assess the condition of the nation's capital's roads. "In order to make all the PWD roads in Delhi pothole-free, the entire cabinet of the Delhi government has been down to ground zero and inspecting the roads since 6 AM today. In this sequence, I inspected the roads of NSIC Okhla, Modi Mill Flyover, Chirag Delhi, Tughlakabad Extension, Mathura Road, Ashram Chowk and underpass," Chief Minister Atishi said in a post on X.

According to her, there were a lot of potholes on the roadways, which were causing traffic issues for people. "I have instructed officials to get the roads repaired on war footing," she said. "Under Arvind Kejriwal's guidance, our effort is to ensure Delhiites get pothole-free roads by Diwali," the Chief Minister said.
