In mid‑July, Delhi minister Pravesh Verma reported that accelerated infrastructure projects—led by the Public Works Department, Delhi Jal Board and other agencies—had cut flooding by 80‑90 % and highlighted a newly dry eastern neighbourhood. He also announced a fast‑tracked skywalk to improve pedestrian safety.

A week later, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and NDMC vice‑chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal inspected monsoon‑prone streets, confirming that heavy rains under a Red Alert had not produced major water‑logging. They ordered further drainage upgrades, road widening, pothole repairs and the deployment of field machinery and emergency teams, reinforcing the earlier infrastructure push as the city prepares for the monsoon season.
