Delhi Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh has pledged to overhaul the city's administrative system, promising to make officers who have not been working for the past decade accountable. He stated that under the current government, negligence would not be tolerated and strict directions had been given to officials to ensure that the existing system is improved and all issues are resolved efficiently.

"There are several issues. We, too, have decided that we will not shy away from working hard. We will make these officers work," Parvesh said. He acknowledged the dysfunction in the system that had developed over the last 10 years, calling it a period when the entire structure of Delhi was on the verge of collapse. "We will make all such officers work. Negligence will not be tolerated at all," he emphasized.

The Minister highlighted the importance of changing the existing bureaucratic culture, noting that officers had become "thick-skinned" over time. "We are making all of them work on the ground. I, too, am working on the ground," Parvesh added, signaling his commitment to tackling the issues firsthand.

Additionally, Parvesh addressed the city's drainage system, acknowledging the challenges related to the treatment capacity of sewage and wastewater. He stated that the government was working to enhance the sewage treatment capacity in Delhi. He further mentioned that he had been in contact with Chief Ministers of neighboring states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to discuss the flow of drainage water from those regions into the Yamuna River.

"We are committed to ensuring that 100% of that water is treated," he said. The Minister also outlined his personal involvement in overseeing the operation of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). "I am personally visiting each STP, and if there is any negligence, we will take strict action against the concerned officer," Parvesh added.

His remarks underline the Delhi government's focus on improving infrastructure and tackling long-standing issues in the city's administration, particularly related to environmental concerns.
