An MCD official stated that the deadline for renovating the facade of the aging Kamla Market near New Delhi Railway Station had been extended to the end of March next year. The civic body had approved the project to restore and revamp the 73-year-old clock tower at the market in March.

The second phase of work, which includes plaster repairs, standardization of shop frontages, and the construction of toilet blocks, began in October. However, the implementation of GRAP stages III and IV led to a temporary halt, and only the clock tower and market entrance could be fully repaired and painted. The official mentioned that work on the pending tasks resumed on Friday.

The remaining tasks include repairing the front facade of all market and outside shops, painting them with a uniform colour, and reconstructing the toilet blocks at the rear of the market, including a women's toilet, after demolishing the existing ones.

At Ambedkar Stadium, MCD has completed 70 per cent of the redevelopment work. The Rs 50.6 million project is set to give the complex a facelift. The official revealed that work on the construction of the changing area, cafeteria, and toilet block had already been completed. The redevelopment includes improvements to the cafeteria, green rooms, and facade, modernization of the toilets, and upgrades to the stands. A media centre is also planned. The official explained that after the lifting of GRAP regulations, a site survey was conducted, and instructions were issued for the resumption of work on improving the facade of the stadium, with expectations to finish the work on schedule.

The multi-level car parking facilities at Punjabi Bagh and M Block market in Greater Kailash I may be opened for use in 2025, having missed at least three completion deadlines. The official informed that delays at the GKI parking lot were caused by restrictions on construction activities and pending tree-cutting authorization. The official confirmed that work would now resume and that the project, costing Rs 630.7 million and 75 per cent completed, would accommodate 399 vehicles.
