New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The irrigation and flood control department of Delhi government has constituted a team of 11 officials to conduct a technical audit of infrastructure works carried out under the 'Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan', officials said.
Launched in 2023 by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, the flagship initiative focuses on the development of urbanised villages across Delhi.
The scheme aims to improve the quality of life in these areas by identifying and bridging infrastructure and civic gaps.
According to officials, a multi-disciplinary team comprising nominated superintendent engineers will evaluate the quality, progress and technical standards of the projects undertaken so far.
The audit is expected to ensure accountability, efficiency and transparency in the implementation of projects.
In March 2024, Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the key milestones under the scheme, including the rollout of piped natural gas (PNG) facilities in 41 villages and the launch of development works in 178 villages.
These projects, with a combined outlay of Rs 383 crore, include roads, drains, streetlights, parks and other essential civic amenities.
Officials said the audit process will further strengthen project delivery and pave the way for timely completion of the ongoing works under the Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan.
