Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to engage with MLAs to solve issues of each constituency
New Delhi, March 18: With a view to addressing the issues faced by each Assembly constituency in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be engaging with each MLA and also take up the issue of delayed projects at the Delhi Secretariat.
According to a senior government official, Kejriwal has allotted 30-40 minutes to each MLA so that they can present local issues of their respective constituencies.
To start with, Chandni Chowk MLA Alka Lamba will meet the chief minister at 1:30 P.M. tomorrow.
"I am the first MLA to meet the chief minister. I was scheduled to meet him on March 30, but it was rescheduled. Now, I am meeting him tomorrow afternoon.
"One by one, all the MLAs will meet him with their local issues and officials of various departments will give them solutions on a single platform," Lamba told PTI.
She said she will raise the issue of poor roads and traffic situation in the Chandni Chowk and Jama Masjid areas, which have been dug up for the last 10 months.
"I
have
met
all
the
government
officials
who
keep
on
passing
the
buck
on
to
other
agencies.
So,
the
intervention
of
the
chief
minister
is
required.
"I
have
made
several
complaints
about
road
conditions
in
Chandni
Chowk,
which
has
troubled
locals
for
last
10
months.
Any
accident
can
take
place
on
this
stretch
and
no
fire
brigade
will
be
able
to
reach
the
spot
in
time,"
Lamba
said.
She also met Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Muktesh Chander, to discuss illegal parking and traffic menace in her constituency. Chander assured that action would be taken and he would soon call for a joint meeting with MCD in this regard.
"I will also take up the issue of the much-delayed project of Rani Jhansi Grid Separator by MCD at Azad Market, which has become a major traffic concern. Open wires are lying at the construction site and we have taken the picture, which I will table before the chief minister," Lamba said.
A senior government official said that Kejriwal will hold one-on-one meetings with all MLAs at regular intervals to resolve their local issues.
