India, Dec. 31 -- The Delhi government is planning to initiate recarpeting work of 400km of arterial road network across the Capital after the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap) restrictions are lifted, chief minister Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday.

Of the total planned stretch, the Centre has released a budget for 300km and work on the remaining stretch will be undertaken by the Delhi government using their own resources.

"The construction of these roads will not only improve traffic flow but will also significantly reduce the dust generated from dilapidated and broken roads, which has been a major cause of pollution in Delhi. The capital's roads, in dire need of repair for years, are finally going to see better days," Gupta said.
