Following the tragic Janakpuri accident that claimed biker Kamal Dhyani’s life in an open pit, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took a stern view on Saturday (February 7), issuing time-bound directives to all departments and agencies to enforce rigourous safety at excavation sites across the national capital. CM Gupta mandated an immediate review of all digging works, with a consolidated report due to the Chief Secretary within three days and warned of strict disciplinary action against any negligence. The Chief Secretary’s Office Memorandum outlines an eight-point framework applicable to PWD, Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), NDMC, DISCOMs and all contractors.
