According to a statement from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), two historic structures and a well have been restored to their original glory.

The event was attended by South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, area MLA Gajender Singh Yadav, and DDA Vice Chairman Vijay Kumar Singh.

Following his visit, efforts were initiated on a priority basis to restore the historic structures, enhance the environment, and revitalize the area, it said.
Saxena emphasised that the initiative is part of the government's broader vision to promote holistic development and improve the quality of life for Delhi residents.
