Traffic in the area has also been fixed. It has now become an important tourist spot in Delhi. We have many other plans for its further upgradation as well," the Chief Minister said.
Kejriwal has also announced that the place will be open till 12 o'clock in the night and street food joints will be allowed, as many people come for a walk here late in the night. Also, it will attract more tourists.
On the drainage system of the national capital, he said, "We have inherited the damaged drainage system of Delhi. We have plans to fix the drainage system of the entire Delhi. The entire process of waterlogging will end, but it will take time to fix it as this will be a big project".
