No more dangling wires? Delhi gets first overhead wire-free project

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday launched a pilot project to remove the overhead power lines and shift them underground at BH Block, Janta Flats Colony, in her Shalimar Bagh constituency.

Gupta said the project, with an outlay of Rs 8 crore, is expected to be completed in three months.

Asserting this is just the beginning, the chief minister said the government plans to expand this pilot project to other parts of Delhi soon.

A dedicated budget of Rs 100 crore has been allocated for the phased rollout across various areas of the capital, she added in a statement.

Gupta said the underground wiring system will make the electricity supply more reliable, safe and efficient.
