NEW DELHI: Almost two months after the Delhi government presented the Rozgar Budget promising 20 lakh new job opportunities in five years, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday reviewed the progress made so far on various projects.
Asking the officials to expedite the implementation of the schemes, Sisodia said implementing the decisions made by the government are not a mere “tabletop exercise”. “We need to involve different agencies and people to ensure maximum possible benefits for the residents of Delhi,” Sisodia said in a statement.
Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC) of Delhi vice-chairman Jasmine Shah and Kalkaji MLA Atishi also attended the meeting. The government’s proposed schemes reviewed by the deputy CM included the cloud kitchen policy, redevelopment of iconic markets, retail shopping festival, wholesale shopping festival, redevelopment of non-conforming industrial areas, food truck policy and startup policy.
The government in a statement said the select committee constituted earlier this month for the selection of iconic markets for redevelopment has mapped out the selection criteria and detailed discussions have been held and market-specific studies carried out. “A key focus of the government is on boosting the night economy of Delhi through this policy,” the statement read.
