The third New Delhi Municipal Council meeting, chaired by Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma on Wednesday, approved a series of resolutions aimed at enhancing civic infrastructure and religious spaces across the national capital’s core areas. The meeting was attended by Member of Parliament Bansuri Swaraj, NDMC Vice-Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal, and other senior officials.

A key highlight of the meeting was a proposal to develop and beautify prominent religious sites in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of preserving India’s cultural heritage. “PM Modi envisions renovating all temples and cultural sites across the nation. Committees have been formed to survey temples like the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place, Kali Mata Temple, Valmiki Mandir in Nehru Park, and Bhairav Baba Mandir,” Verma said.

The proposed beautification drive will ensure better facilities for devotees, including clean drinking water, seating arrangements, upgraded lighting, well-maintained pathways, and improved sanitation.

Verma said religious places were not only centres of faith but also of service and culture.
