According to conservative estimates, a slew of infrastructure projects of big and small scale all aimed at making commute easy for that part of the city have cost the state exchequer in the range of Rs 1,500-2,000 crore in the past four-five years. This is apart from the first Metro line that was opened in 2002 between Shahdara and Tis Hazari that made a world of difference to the till then ill-connected part of the city.
PWD has executed 10-odd major projects in the area, including Rajaram Kohli Marg flyover, UP Link Road, Apsara Border flyover, ITO Chungi, Ghazipur flyover and the Anand Vihar flyover. It naturally helped that for a long time the PWD minister of the city had been A K Walia, who has represented Lakshmi Nagar for as long as the Delhi Assembly has been in existence. Execution has always been efficient.
