The new policy states that charges will be based solely on actual water requirements for new or additional constructions, excluding open areas from the calculations. This decision aims to make the charges fairer and more aligned with actual usage. In a separate initiative, CM Gupta laid the foundation stone for the Mukhmelpur Park in Burari, which is set to be developed at a cost of approximately ₹1 crore (around $120,000 USD) over an area of 3 acres. The park will feature modern amenities, including a walking track and a pond.
