@RoaringTigerHiddenDragon your opinion on Delhi? Should we mock them?
Old delhi is slowly getting redeveloped. The real estate is getting valuable there for unorganized settlements to be there.
But old delhi has a metro, a redeveloped Chandhni chowk including a luxurious omaxe mall, better electricity and water supply, better law & order etc.
Old Lahore looks like garbage and has nothing.
Khujliwal though is doing things very slowly - just redeveloped 1 road for show off. He needs to put money in and comprehensively redevelop the whole old delhi area like it is being done in old VaranasI. Tourism potential is immense in old delhi area.
Need to build much higher quality affordable housing for the poor there, not these eyesore looking shacks. Mohallas need to be beautified , painted and cleaned up, for sure. All old heritage buildings must be restored. Need EV bikes and rickshaws only allowed here. A very clean food street must be setup.
When BJP wins and takes over delhi state administration, you can be sure that all illegals and crime lords will be kicked out of old delhi, shahdara and comprehensive transformation will happen there.
But Lahore is worse than some Bihar towns. Lahore has very little modern infrastructure and even where they have it, it doesn’t work. The security situation is real bad. Johar town where their central bank governor Hafiz saeed was bombed is considered to be an upscale neighborhood there. Old walled city of Lahore is just a shithole - absolutely no infrastructure or development.
But on our side, yes, we need to start spending a lot more on our urban projects - urban area’s budgets need to double at least. A lot of PPP redevelopment has to happen. in very pro development pro urban states like Karnataka and Telangana, urban development/redevelopment is happening at a massive pace. Just visit Hyderabad, TL - the redevelopment there is massive. Some parts look exactly like the US’ technology towns.
Khujliwal needs to study how that works and implement here.
TL is going to be the first state in India to match developed nations’ urban and rural standards. Even BJP states should learn from it. You can get a fully approved real estate permit and start building in just 20 days. No corruption, no hassles, everything digitized there. Can you do that in khujliwal Pradesh?
