Streets bathed in warm LED lights, return of double-decker buses, langar at Bangla Sahib Gurdwara, ensuring zero internet connectivity blackspots — as Delhi prepares to host seven sets of events in the run-up to the G20 summit in September, it is relying on such small but significant interventions to give visitors a taste of what the city has to offer.
The objective is two-fold — fixing some of the city’s perennial issues ranging from waterlogging to mobility, and showcasing Delhi to the world as a microcosm of the country’s cultural and secular credentials.
According to documents related to preparation accessed by The Indian Express, the aim this time is to create lasting infrastructure — something that was lacking during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government re-sent its proposal to send government school teachers to Finland for training – an issue that had dominated the recently concluded session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly — for clearance to Raj Niwas again on Friday, asking how the L-G can scuttle the initiative by “repeatedly raising flimsy objections.”
Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had alleged that Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Vinai Kumar Saxena had “stalled” the proposal twice by placing objections over the file, despite the AAP government’s approval.
The L-G, in his letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal early on Friday, said he was glad that the issue of education and teachers’ training was being raised by the CM and AAP MLAs following which he took on the Delhi government over it.
