PWD official
A Public Works Department official
“"The stretch is the lifeline for people living in and around this area as it provides connectivity to IGI Airport, Dwarka and Najafgarh on one side and Delhi Cantonment, Dhaula Kuan, Hari Nagar and Tilak Nagar on the other. Currently, the stretch sees massive traffic jams due to illegal encroachments and parking."”

Ashish Sood
Education Minister and MLA of Janakpuri constituency
“"Pankha Road, Jail Road and the stretch around Janakpuri have been neglected for the last 11 years by the previous government. No work was taken up to decongest these areas by the previous AAP government. However, my government is taking all steps to decongest the stretch on priority. The Pankha Road stretch is not only a lifeline for Janakpuri residents but also for West Delhi areas like Tilak Nagar, Hari Nagar and Uttam Nagar."”
