Kolkata: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday inaugurated the first Soma Ayurvedic Kitchen at Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital in her Assembly constituency Shalimar Bagh and said that it is a great concept with new initiatives being taken in Delhi.
She told the reporters, “A healthy kitchen in my Assembly that has all the recipes by millets, a healthy diet that a new generation wants to eat. From pav bhaji to burgers, and soups to any kind of South Indian dishes, everything will be available here. I have come here for food so I know what a great experience it is from millet dosa and millet pav bhaji and how people connect with millet to keep the country healthy.”
She added, “And the adoption of alternative medicine is an asset, a cultural heritage for all of us. There is a glorious history and all these things are followed by us in our life, so I think the whole country can move forward, the society can move forward and we can keep ourselves healthy.”
Notably, the Delhi government is going to organize 11 big programs on the occasion of International Yoga Day, and the Chief Minister herself will be present on the banks of the Yamuna River. CM Gupta said, “Many wishes on Yoga Day. There is an attachment that I keep seeing Yamuna ji every moment. And I will be able to do this work with more strength.”
Delhi government is working on the problem of water logging
Regarding the problem of water logging in Delhi, CM Gupta said, “You understand that when the rain comes, it comes in a large amount. The drains cannot take more water, so the water becomes clogged.”
She added, “It will go from the top and evaporate from the bottom. It will go to your drain. If it goes out for half an hour to 1 hour then let’s assume it is natural but if it stays more than that then it is problematic. Then there is blockage of the drain or there is a sinkhole or lack of connectivity. So it needs to be checked, so we have taken note of all the points where the problem occurred yesterday. We have immediately taken the next step, and I am relieved.”
CM Gupta told reporters, “Places like Minto Bridge are not flooded. You also did not say that things are moving in the direction of improvement and that the government is just short-lived. We have a policy which is intended to work and the way in which we are checking things by taking note of them, involving the entire department and fixing their responsibilities. I think gradually the rest of the problems that remain now will also be fixed. Some work has been done and some improvements will be made in the future.”
Regarding the problems of dengue in Delhi, CM Gupta said that elaborate preparations will be made for it and all efforts against dengue will take place in collaboration with the Municipal Corporation.
