The delhi government has canceled the Rs 60 lakh remodeling tender for chief minister rekha Gupta's official residence, citing "administrative reasons," which is a significant development for the city's residents. According to a story published last week by the PTI news agency, delhi chief minister rekha Gupta was tasked with upgrading Bungalow Number 1, raj Niwas Marg, which required the Public Works Department (PWD) to spend more than Rs 59.40 lakh.
The project included civil and electrical repairs, including the installation of 23 ceiling fans with remote controls (costing Rs 1.8 lakh), five LED TVs (worth Rs 9.9 lakh), and 14 split air conditioners (worth Rs 7.7 lakh).
Washing machines, toast grill, and Dishwasher: What was on the upgrade list?
A UPS system for power backup was anticipated to be installed in the house, along with 14 CCTV cameras valued at Rs 5.74 lakh. Not only that, but the upgrade project also included plans for six geysers (costing Rs 91,000), a dishwasher (costing Rs 60,000), an automatic washing machine (costing Rs 77,000), and a toast grill (costing Rs 85,000).
23 ceiling fans totaling Rs 1.8 lakh and 115 lamps, hanging lights, and three large chandeliers will be installed throughout the house as part of the illumination project, which will cost Rs 6 lakh. The renovations would cost a total of Rs 59,40,170.
Rekha Gupta, the chief minister of delhi, praised the Commission for air Quality Management's (CAQM) decision to postpone the national capital's end-of-life (EOL) vehicle policy implementation until november 1. She said the commission took note of the people's concerns, which were brought up by the delhi government.
"The previous governments never understood this problem being faced by the people," cm rekha Gupta told reporters. They didn't work on policy or pollution. We had brought up the issue that the people of delhi were facing, and they shouldn't have to endure injustice, when the CAQM decided to issue this order, which also included the court's ruling.
They have postponed this decision until november 1, 2025, in recognition of our position, and we will continue to endeavor to provide assistance to the delhi residents. The previous administration caused all of this confusion, and our government will try to resolve it.
