Saxena on Sunday shared a video on his social media handle on platform X, where dirty water could be seen filled on streets, drains overflowing, while roads were submerged in the sewage water.

The video was from his visit to the Rangpuri Pahari area in South Delhi on Saturday, where people could also be seen sharing their problems related to basic amenities, including lack of potable water supply, repeated power cuts, despite their claims of getting inflated bills.

Saxena also urged the former Chief Minister, and the current CM, along with the cabinet ministers concerned of the Delhi government to visit these areas and see the hellish conditions themselves.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi visited Rangpuri Pahadi in South West Delhi on Sunday to address grievances after Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena highlighted the area's civic challenges.

She assured residents that issues such as road restoration, cleanliness, and drainage overflow would be resolved within a week.
