# MCD completes 74% of road target but residents say many remain broken 2026-08-06T19:51:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has completed 478 km of internal road repairs out of a 650 km target for the first half of 2024, meeting 74% of its goal. As part of its dust pollution mitigation plan, the civic body aims to carpet or repair 1,202 km of roads under 60 feet wide by December, with funds available for 2,375 of the 2,975 identified works. MCD says financial constraints will not hamper execution this year, unlike in previous years. However, residents in Defence Colony, GK-II, and Green Park Extension report that many damaged stretches remain untouched. A Defence Colony RWA official says road carpeting stopped within days after bitumen prices rose due to the West Asia war, and the MCD has provided no update on resumption. In GK-II, at least 52 roads across four blocks require dense carpeting, with no improvement for over five years. MCD says it uses funds provided by the Delhi government and carries out regular pothole repairs using cold mix material. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - millenniumpost.in Tags: civic works, Delhi roads, dust pollution, MCD, road repairs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mcd-completes-478km-of-delhi-road-repairs-by-june/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
