With the incorporation of these new roads, the MCD’s scope of responsibility will encompass the maintenance of a total of 44 roads.

Scheduled for September 9 to 10, the summit is slated to occur at the newly inaugurated, state-of-the-art convention complex located at Pragati Maidan.

A senior official stated that the MCD has escalated its endeavors to uplift the aesthetic and sensory appeal of the urban landscape.

In order to achieve these objectives, designated officers and their respective teams will deploy specialized mechanical road-sweeping machinery and versatile multi-purpose vehicles to carry out tasks such as road maintenance, cleanliness, and dust control, said the official.

Initially, the MCD had pinpointed 26 roads for this undertaking, including prominent routes such as Mathura Road, Bhairon Marg, Sachivalaya Road, Purana Quila Road, Lodhi Road, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Marg, Suraj Kund Road, and Mahatma Gandhi Road.
