NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Thursday laid the foundation stone of an ‘Arogya Mandir’ at Sanjay Park in the Shakarpur area. The event was graced by Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh, who attended as the chief guest.
On the occasion, Member of Parliament Harsh Malhotra, MLA Abhay Verma, Chairman of Shahdara South Zone, Councillor Ram Kishore Sharma, along with other public representatives, senior municipal officials, and a large number of local residents, were present.
