Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, has approved enhanced ex-gratia assistance of ₹75,000 per hectare for farmers affected by heavy rainfall and waterlogging during August-September 2025 — a significant upward revision from the earlier rate of ₹20,000 per acre fixed in 2015 — with ₹33.32 crore to be disbursed to approximately 10,000 farmers across 10,977.44 acres of affected agricultural land. The Revenue Department's assessment found 100% crop loss across affected areas due to continuous heavy rainfall and overflowing of natural drains, with the Cabinet approving full assistance at the revised rate. CM Rekha Gupta said that with agricultural costs having risen significantly over more than a decade, the enhancement from ₹49,421 per hectare to ₹75,000 per hectare reflects the government's commitment to standing firmly with farmers during times of crisis and ensuring continuity of agricultural activities. The Chief Minister reaffirmed that carrying forward PM Narendra Modi's vision of increasing farmers' income and making agriculture more remunerative, the Delhi Government accords the highest priority to farmers' livelihood and agricultural security - ensuring that timely financial assistance reaches every affected farmer to prepare for the next crop season.

Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta laid the foundation stone for a ₹75.40 crore road and drainage project in Wazirpur Industrial Area, covering redevelopment of 5.77 km of roads and construction of an 11.54 km storm water drainage network. The project aims to address long-standing issues of waterlogging, damaged roads and inadequate civic infrastructure in one of Delhi's key industrial hubs. A major feature of the project is the introduction of underground utility duct technology, which will eliminate the need for repeated road excavation by multiple agencies and ensure efficient maintenance of essential services. The upgraded drainage network is expected to significantly improve rainwater discharge during the monsoon, while plantation and landscaping works will contribute to a cleaner industrial environment.
