New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday inaugurated the office of the District Development Committee Chairman in North Delhi and led a cleanliness drive as part of a larger initiative to strengthen grassroots governance and civic engagement.

She was joined at the event by Member of Parliament Yogender Chandolia and local MLA Rajkumar Bhatia. Speaking at the inauguration, CM Gupta highlighted the significant transformation of the North District building and reiterated her government’s commitment to empowering district administrations.

“Our North District building has been completely renovated, addressing all the shortcomings that existed earlier.

It now stands as a symbol of good governance,” she said. “The government has initiated the activation of all District Magistrate offices. As soon as we took charge, we focussed on reviving all 11 districts. We extended full support to our District Magistrates, be it staffing, necessary assistance, administrative powers, or financial resources,” she added. The Chief Minister’s remarks come amid a broader campaign to decentralise administrative effectiveness and reinforce service delivery at the district level. The event also included public participation in a cleanliness initiative, reflecting the government’s emphasis on community-driven governance and Swachh Bharat-inspired civic responsibility.

This follows a key announcement made by CM Gupta earlier on Thursday, when she relaunched the iconic ‘University Special’ (U-Special) bus service at the Delhi University Sports Complex, reviving a much-loved student facility that had been discontinued years ago.
