Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced a comprehensive modernisation plan aimed at revamping the mandis in the national capital. This move comes amid accusations against the previous AAP government for their alleged negligence and corruption in maintaining these crucial trading hubs.

During a visit to Azadpur Mandi, Gupta highlighted the lack of essential facilities, such as cleanliness and safety, which she attributed to the inaction of past governments over the last decade or more. She remarked on the dilapidated state of the roads and amenities, labeling the situation as dire.

Chief Minister Gupta asserted a commitment to eradicating corruption and revamping infrastructure, promising immediate steps for appointing new personnel and ensuring security. Accompanied by Minister Kapil Mishra, she emphasized the state's dedication to transforming mandis from what she described as 'kooda ghar' into well-maintained and efficient centers of commerce.
