Expressing unhapiness over pot-holed roads, broken footpaths, non-functional street-lights and not-so impressive signages in various areas, Dikshit asked the agencies and departments concerned to "quickly" carry out maintenance work.
The instruction by Dikshit was given at a meeting she had with PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan, Transport Minister Ramakant Goswami, Power Minister Haroon Yusuf, Chief Secretary P K Tripathi and top officials of concerned department.
The Chief Minister specifically asked the Ministers and officials to bring about an improvement in the image of the city by January, 2013.
