Three projects for Delhi University are worth Rs. 600 crores...
Today the Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of multiple development projects in the national capital.
Today is an important day for Delhi's development. At a programme in Ashok Vihar, will be inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for a wide range of development works which will boost 'Ease of Living' for the people of Delhi,” PM Narendra Modi wrote in a post on social media.
The projects to be inaugurated by the prime minister include 1,675 newly constructed flats for the dwellers of JJ (Jhuggi Jhopri) clusters in Ashok Vihar, World Trade Centre (WTC) at Nauroji Nagar, General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar, and the Integrated Office Complex of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) at Dwarka.
Three projects for the Delhi University worth ₹600 crore prime minister Modi will lay their foundation stone today. These include the Eastern Campus at Surajmal Vihar, Western Campus at Dwarka, and the Veer Savarkar College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh, with state-of-the-art facilities.
Veer Savarkar College, named after the right-wing ideologue, has triggered a war of words between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Congress. The Congress has accused the BJP of “glorifying those who submitted mercy petitions to the British."
Hitting back, the BJP, whose ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is a right-wing organisation, has alleged the grand old party now identifies itself only by “insulting great people."
Also, the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) is currently headed by the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), a Congress-affiliated student outfit.
