NEW DELHI:

The extensive operation was carried out over the entire PWD road network, spanning arterial routes, internal lanes, and accident-prone stretches, the agency said.

PWD minister Parvesh Verma, who monitored the drive on-ground, visited multiple sites including Saket, where he reviewed early morning progress. "By 11 am, we had filled half the targeted potholes. Our aim is to give Delhi good roads once again," he told reporters in the morning.

Verma criticised the previous government for allowing road quality to deteriorate.
