Praveen Khandelwal, the BJP candidate from the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency, met Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena on Wednesday.
Accompanied by party representatives and traders, he discussed various problems concerning residents in the constituency, including the plight of displaced Hindu refugees from Pakistan and the re-opening of shops that were sealed by a Supreme Court-appointed judicial committee in the local shopping centre (LSC) markets, with the Lieutenant-Governor.
Khandelwal emphasised the urgent need for repairing roads, addressing accumulation of waste and enhancing civic amenities in both commercial and residential areas.
Additionally, Khandelwal announced that an ‘International Women’s Day Mega Summit’ will be organised on March 8 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi.
