Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta made a courtesy visit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday and briefed him on the development work being carried out by her government in the Capital.

After the meeting, Ms. Gupta, in a statement, said that Mr. Modi shared his vision and plans for Delhi’s growth, which will provide a renewed direction and momentum to the city’s developmental efforts.

The CM said she told Mr. Modi that cleaning and making Delhi greener are the top priorities for her government.

Ms. Gupta said she apprised Mr. Modi of the waste management being improved through the adoption of modern technology and 70 lakh saplings to be planted this year to increase the green cover in the Capital, besides the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0’ campaign already under way.

She said that her government has been encouraging people to visit sites in Delhi, such as the Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial and the Prime Minister’s Museum. “Awareness campaigns will be launched to educate people about the historical importance and significance of these sites. These campaigns will also be promoted through social media,” added Ms. Gupta.
