He assured that drainage work has started and that the Tikri Border to Peeragarhi Chowk stretch has been transferred to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The PWD and Flood Control departments are overseeing the drain work.
Verma linked poor road conditions to rising air pollution and emphasized the need for high-quality infrastructure.
"We are making roads and drains that will last years… I have directed the contractor that there should be no compromise with quality. Otherwise, the company would be blacklisted, and concerned officials will be suspended," he warned.
His visit comes amid growing concerns over Delhi’s road maintenance and pollution levels. Residents have long complained about the poor state of infrastructure, especially in areas like Rohtak Road.
