The decision was taken at a recent meeting chaired by Chief Secretary where directives were issued to departments concerned, including the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Public Works Department and civic bodies, in this regard.
"The government has directed all agencies concerned not to take up any road-cutting work till September 15 in view of monsoon season in Delhi," said a senior government official.
Last month, the Delhi Cabinet had approved a proposal to grant online permission to various agencies to dig and cut the roads.
