Rekha Gupta Government Takes Historic Step; 48 Delhi Villages to Get Urban Status for Planned Development of Roads, Sewerage and Civic Amenitie

The Rekha Gupta Government has decided to urbanise 48 villages across Delhi under Section 507(a) of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 — enabling their inclusion in Delhi’s urban development planning and allowing systematic assessment of land use, roads, water supply, sewerage, drainage, sanitation and waste management needs in a coordinated manner. CM Rekha Gupta said the decision will bring clarity on the legal and administrative rules applicable to these villages, provide a clear basis for preparing development plans and strengthen coordination among concerned agencies. The urbanisation is aligned with the Draft Master Plan 2041 and aims to ensure that Delhi’s development is balanced, inclusive and future-oriented — respecting the cultural heritage and identity of these villages while bringing them into the mainstream of development. The 48 villages include Bakoli, Hamidpur, Palla, Mungeshpur, Jagatpur, Bijwasan, Fatehpur Beri, Ghumanhera, Dhansa, Badarpur Khadar and others spread across different parts of the capital. Development work will be carried out in accordance with relevant plans, statutory approvals and applicable rules.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah Inaugurates and Lays Foundation Stones for Yamuna Rejuvenation Projects Worth ₹8,941 Crore; Targets Clean Yamuna by 2029

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah attended the inauguration and foundation-stone laying ceremony of Yamuna rejuvenation projects worth ₹8,941 crore in Delhi, with Lieutenant Governor Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu and Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta present alongside other dignitaries. Ten projects were inaugurated and 33 initiated, covering STP upgradation, new STP installation, decentralised STP pumping stations, household sewer connections, sewer rehabilitation and drainage work — with a target of making the Yamuna clean by May 2029. Amit Shah said PM Narendra Modi, as soon as the Delhi government was formed, placed his vision of purifying the Yamuna before the Delhi Government and the Ministry of Home Affairs — with more than 40% of the action plan already completed. He said previous governments for 30 years allowed Delhi’s sewage to be discharged into the Yamuna and dumped 2,000 tonnes of cow dung from dairies into the river daily. Under the present four-state coordination between the Centre, Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, a time-bound roadmap has been prepared to clean the Yamuna by 2029. The Home Minister said the Rekha Gupta Government, with the help of the Modi Government, has cleared 2.17 crore metric tonnes of garbage, freed 100 acres of land from waste, and reduced the garbage mountains at Okhla and Bhalswa by 30-40 metres and Ghazipur by 10-15 metres. He reaffirmed that in two years, gardens will come up in place of garbage mountains — and a three-year action plan is in place to provide sewerage connections to every household and ensure pure drinking water reaches every Delhi home.

CM Rekha Gupta Inaugurates ₹16 Crore Biogas Plant at Goyla Dairy; 200 Metric Tonnes of Cow Dung to Be Processed Daily to Protect Yamuna

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Monday inaugurated a biogas plant with a capacity to process 200 metric tonnes of cow dung daily at Goyla Dairy, Najafgarh, built at a cost of ₹16 crore by MCD — generating around 14,000 cubic metres of raw biogas and approximately 5.6 tonnes of purified compressed biogas daily to be supplied to Indraprastha Gas Limited through a pipeline, with biogas slurry used as organic fertiliser. CM Rekha Gupta said previous governments left the problem of cow dung management unresolved for years, with no biogas plant set up in Delhi. The present government has made three plants operational in 18 months with six more underway. The Nangli Sakrawati plant alone used 55,000 tonnes of cow dung in one year, paying farmers ₹3.5 crore. Livestock owners at Goyla Dairy will receive 67 paise per kilogram for cow dung collected — turning a disposal burden into an economic opportunity. ₹50 crore has also been allocated to construct drains and improve drainage in Delhi’s dairy colonies. The Chief Minister said tackling pollution at its source is essential to cleaning the Yamuna — with cow dung flowing into drains and reaching the river being a key contributor to its pollution. Cabinet Minister Ashish Sood said previous governments shifted dairies but failed to ensure scientific cow dung disposal, while the present government under CM Rekha Gupta is delivering concrete action and results in line with PM Modi’s ‘Waste to Wealth’ vision.
