"Moreover, the beautification of the roads will add to the aesthetic appeal of the area and make it more attractive for residents and visitors," she said.

The PWD minister added the Delhi government is working in a phased manner to strengthen the roads of Delhi.

Given that these roads were constructed long ago, they are currently in need of maintenance. The riding quality of the roads has also deteriorated due to the cutting of roads for laying cables and pipes by civic agencies, she added.
