Overview

• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the work with a foundation‑stone ceremony at the Rajputana Rifles Regimental Centre in Delhi Cantonment on Saturday.
• Gupta said the government has floated a tender for the bridge and asserted that construction will be completed soon.
• The Public Works Department has taken up the long‑pending request for a pedestrian crossing on Ring Road near the regiment centre.
• With no existing underpass or bridge, soldiers have been using a low, dirty underground drain culvert to cross between the centre and their barracks.
• The event formed part of the Delhi government’s Sewa Pakhwada observances for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, as Gupta also criticized previous administrations for inaction.
