Netaji Subhash Marg to Get a Major Makeover: Modern Heritage Corridor Planned from Delhi Gate to Kashmere Gate

The Delhi Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, is preparing a plan to redevelop Netaji Subhash Marg, one of the capital’s key historic and busiest roads. The project, being undertaken by the Indraprastha Virasat Punarvikas Nigam (IVPN), aims to transform the approximately 3.3-km stretch from Delhi Gate to Kashmere Gate into a more organised, attractive, safe and convenient corridor. The corridor is divided into three sections: Kashmere Gate to GPO Chowk, GPO Chowk to Brij Mohan Chowk, and Brij Mohan Chowk to Delhi Gate. Proposed facilities include footpaths, bus lanes, motor vehicle lanes, parking, pedestrian plazas and cycle tracks, along with modern public toilets on both sides and upgraded bus stops. The plan also connects landmarks such as the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, St James’ Church, Subhash Park, Hindi Park and Sunehri Masjid, and integrates 12 prominent locations and green spaces. A Heritage Interpretation Park with a statue, pavilion, greenery and parking is envisaged at Delhi Gate. CM Rekha Gupta, who is also Chairperson of IVPN, said development must not come at the cost of Delhi’s historic soul and cultural identity. Modern facilities, she said, should add to the pride and dignity of its heritage.

Delhi Fire Services to Get 2,345 Additional Posts in First Major Cadre Restructuring in 84 Years; Sanctioned Strength to Rise from 3,096 to 5,441

Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta has approved the creation of 2,345 additional posts in the Delhi Fire Service, the first large-scale cadre restructuring in the department’s 84-year history since its establishment in 1942. The total number of sanctioned posts will rise from 3,096 to 5,441, with increases across ranks including Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Divisional Officer, Assistant Divisional Officer, Station Officer, Sub-Officer, Leading Fireman, Fire Operator, Peon and Gardener. CM Rekha Gupta said Delhi’s growing population, densely populated settlements, high-rise buildings, industrial establishments and complex infrastructure are creating new challenges for emergency services, where every minute matters. She said adequate trained manpower, a strong leadership structure and quick response play a decisive role in protecting people and property, and the decision is an investment in Delhi’s public safety, institutional capacity and future requirements. Home Minister Ashish Sood said the long-awaited restructuring will give the department a stronger institutional foundation to handle fires, accidents, emergencies and rescue operations. The Delhi Fire Service, which began in 1942 with four fire stations and 186 personnel, now operates 71 fire stations across approximately 1,484 square kilometres.
