A dream turns real for Ladakh Buddha Vihar residents as Delhi CM Rekha Gupta laid the cornerstone for a pedestrian overbridge linking to Monastery Market. The event in Civil Lines on Thursday caps years of advocacy against perilous street crossings.
Gupta addressed the gathering with optimism: ‘This fulfills a pledge to our Ladakhi brothers and sisters who’ve petitioned tirelessly.’ She contrasted her government’s efficiency with past inaction, noting swift approvals pave the way for a six-month finish. The bridge promises safer passages, easing routines for families far from their Himalayan homeland.
‘ Delhi embodies India’s unity in diversity,’ Gupta asserted. ‘Ladakhis here are family, deserving infrastructure that echoes their heritage.’ The bespoke design ensures cultural resonance amid urban sprawl.
Expressing delight, Tashi Gyaltsen thanked the leadership: ‘Long battles end in victory; this project safeguards our future.’
This initiative reflects a broader vision: equitable development that integrates migrants, fortifying Delhi’s status as a compassionate metropolis.
