New Delhi [India], January 22 (ANI): In a significant push towards urban beautification and infrastructure upgradation, Delhi's Lt Governor on Wednesday inaugurated state-of-the-art architectural column fountains at key road junctions in Dwarka Sub-City.
The fountains have been installed at the Sector 6/7 and Sector 5/6 crossings as part of the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) ongoing urban upgradation plan.
MLA Palam Kuldeep Solanki, MLA Matiala Sandeep Sehrawat and Vice Chairman DDA N. Saravana Kumar, along with senior DDA officials, were present at the inauguration.
The project has been executed by DDA under the Lt Governor's vision to transform Dwarka into a world-class residential and commercial hub with enhanced green spaces and modern urban landmarks. The newly installed column fountains are expected to provide a visual relief to thousands of daily commuters passing through these busy junctions.
Addressing the gathering, the Lt Governor said that extensive development work has been undertaken in Dwarka in recent years and assured that the momentum will continue. He added that the government is committed to the holistic development of the national capital, focusing on cleaner, greener surroundings, essential civic amenities, and improved urban aesthetics, in line with the needs of Delhi's growing population.
The column fountains, rising 2.8 metres high and set within a 4.5-metre-diameter sandstone tub crafted from Teak and Rainbow sandstone, combine contemporary architectural design with environmental sensitivity. Equipped with dynamic LED lighting, the fountains transform into vibrant visual landmarks at night, enhancing the overall streetscape. The installations are complemented by floral landscaping and are also expected to help cool the surrounding micro-environment.
Dwarka has witnessed steady development in recent years across sports, residential and civic infrastructure. Facilities such as the Dwarka Golf Course and a proposed sports centre of excellence aim to promote sporting talent and a healthy lifestyle. DDA housing schemes catering to different income groups are also strengthening Dwarka's position as a well-planned residential sub-city.
Several new projects, including the upcoming Bharat Vandana Park, are under development to further enhance Dwarka's cultural and recreational appeal. According to DDA, these initiatives collectively reflect sustained efforts to improve urban facilities and enhance the quality of life for residents of the national capital. (ANI)
