"The route of Delhi Metro which was supposed to be extended till Najafgarh border, in the third phase, was also started and roads were constructed to resolve the traffic issue for the large population residing the area. Dabri and Bukkarvala road projects were also approved under my tenure," remarked Verma.
On the other hand, Verma also said that 70 villages out of 100 were now urbanised and several recreational parks were also constructed under the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.
