The Delhi government approved the construction of a corridor along sahibi river to reduce congestion and provide an alternative route. Four major PWD roads were handed over to NHAI for better management and maintenance. The committee aims to enhance road infrastructure, eliminate traffic bottlenecks, and improve overall connectivity in Delhi.

Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday said that Haryana was supplying more water to Delhi than its legitimate share as per the 1994 MoU.
