Collective Efforts Needed for Pollution Control and a ‘Viksit Delhi’: CM Rekha Gupta

New Delhi, December 2025 : Under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed today between the Delhi Government and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for collaboration across five key sectors. These include beautification of flyovers and roads to help curb pollution, provision of specialised medical equipment to hospitals, installation of water ATMs in various parts of Delhi, and several other initiatives. The Chief Minister said that collective efforts are essential for pollution control and the development of Delhi, and that along with public participation, major companies must also come forward to contribute.

The event organised at the Delhi Secretariat was attended by Cabinet Ministers Pravesh Sahib Singh and Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh, senior officers from the concerned departments, and senior officials from IOCL. On this occasion, the Chief Minister said that the signed MoUs will play a pivotal role in bringing swift, effective, and citizen-friendly changes to the capital. She stated that Delhi is the nation’s capital, and the government aims to not only strengthen the country’s image but also resolve long-standing issues. Since assuming office, she has appealed for cooperation from all sections of society so that these challenges can be addressed in a phased manner and Delhi can be shaped into the city that everyone envisions. Today’s programme marks an important step forward in this direction. Praising IOCL’s foresight and its contribution to the country’s development, she said such models will be further encouraged.

At the programme, Delhi Cabinet Minister Pravesh Sahib Singh stated that the agreement with IOCL will accelerate the Public Works Department’s efforts to beautify and upgrade key flyovers in the city, while the installation of water ATMs through the Jal Board will ensure access to clean drinking water for the people of Delhi. These initiatives will directly improve daily life and further strengthen efforts to make Delhi a safer, cleaner, and better-organised city.

Cabinet Minister Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the pledge to make the capital clean, beautiful, and orderly is progressing with renewed strength. The MoU signed today is crucial in this direction. He added that every department of the Delhi Government is working with full dedication and responsibility to implement this vision. The government’s commitment to cleanliness and urban beautification is becoming stronger, and all officials are working with utmost urgency. He also said that this MoU will give a new direction to the capital’s infrastructure and public services.

Key Highlights of the MoU:

Beautification and maintenance work will be carried out on five major flyovers and one road stretch. These locations include the IIT Delhi Flyover, Panchsheel Flyover, Punjabi Bagh Flyover, Chirag Delhi Flyover, Mukarba Chowk, and a 500-metre section of Aurobindo Marg.

State-of-the-art medical equipment is being provided to two major government hospitals in Delhi. Under this initiative, MRI and CT scan machines will be installed at Lok Nayak Hospital, while a high-energy linear accelerator will be set up at the Delhi State Cancer Institute in Dilshad Garden.
