New Delhi: Dangling
power cables, narrow and congested streets and alleys which have
marred the skyline of the capital's heritage Chandni Chowk, may
not be seen any longer as the Delhi government has decided to
redevelop the Walled City.
This was decided at a meeting Monday between Chief Minister Sheila
Dikshit and union Communication Minister Kapil Sibal, who is a Lok
sabha member from Chandni Chowk.
"The project includes various features like street improvement and
creating a pedestrian-friendly environment with an integrated plan
for all services and creating a heritage environment in Chandini
Chowk," said a government official.
It was decided that the power lines would run underground. The
lines of Delhi Jal Board are already underground.
"The power department - including power companies, Mahanagar
Telecom Nagar Ltd. and Indraprastha Gas Limited - have been
directed to get their lines underground in consultation with the
Public Works Department and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation," the
official added.
