“The foremost responsibility of a responsible government is to not take any problem being faced by the people lightly and a steadfast administration is paramount for a people-oriented government which the Delhi government is," Jain said in a statement.
The meeting also discussed the problem of waterlogging in Narela Industrial Estate because of the low capacity of the existing drain in the area.
