Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently chaired a high-level review meeting on the proposed 53-kilometre Yamuna Cycle Track project, which will run from the Wazirabad Yamuna Bridge to NH-24 and onward to the Kalindi Kunj Yamuna Biodiversity Park. Designed along both sides of the river and crossing it at strategic intervals, the corridor aims to position the Capital as a leading hub of green mobility.CM Gupta highlighted that the initiative holds particular importance for Delhi as it is expected to encourage eco-friendly travel, cut carbon emissions, and ease congestion across key urban stretches. She noted that the cycle track represents not merely a transport intervention but a significant step towards environmental conservation, citizen welfare, and integrated urban development. She added that the project is expected to enhance public health, strengthen eco-tourism, and support preservation of the Yamuna’s green belt.The review meeting, held at the Delhi Secretariat, included senior officials from the DDA, Irrigation and Flood Control Department, PWD, Railways, Energy Department, Delhi Jal Board, and NHAI. Discussions covered phased construction, inter-departmental coordination, approval timelines, and execution strategies.Officials informed the Chief Minister that most departments have already issued No Objection Certificates, while Railway approvals are in the final stage, supported by ongoing dialogue that is likely to conclude swiftly. CM Gupta directed the departments to treat the project as a top priority and maintain strict coordination to avoid any delay. She was updated that construction under Phase One is expected to begin in the new year and could be completed within one year, while all three phases are targeted for completion within three years to deliver maximum benefit to residents.The development will be executed in three phases: Phase One will extend from the Old Yamuna Rail Bridge to NH-24; Phase Two will run from NH-24 to the Kalindi Kunj Yamuna Biodiversity Park; and Phase Three will link the Wazirabad Yamuna Barrage to the Old Yamuna Rail Bridge. CM Gupta emphasised adherence to quality, safety, and environmental norms, expressing confidence that the project will become a major milestone in transforming Delhi into a cleaner, greener, and healthier metropolis with improved ecological outcomes and enhanced living standards for future generations.Earlier, on 17 June, CM Rekha Gupta inaugurated an Ayushman Arogya Mandir at the Tis Hazari Court Complex to serve judicial staff and nearby communities.
