New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) T.S. Sandhu on Thursday reviewed Phase-2 of the city’s reforms to reduce compliance load on common citizens and enhance ease of doing business through deregulation.
Sandhu on social media platform X said, “Chaired a review of Phase-II of Delhi’s Deregulation and Compliance Reduction exercise, advancing PM @narendramodiJi’s vision of Ease of Doing Business & Ease of Living.”
“Reviewed key reforms and stressed fast-tracking the Delhi Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026, to cut red tape and usher in a ‘Permitted until Prohibited’ framework for faster, transparent, citizen-centric governance,” the Lieutenant Governor added.
During the meeting, Sandhu directed all departments to complete the exercise swiftly and efficiently, ensuring every reform delivers real, everyday ease of living for the people of Delhi — less red tape, faster approvals, and a system that works for them, a statement said.
Earlier, the Lieutenant Governor also held a meeting with Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, reviewing community policing initiatives, public welfare platforms, and targeted safety measures being implemented across the National Capital Territory, an official said.
The meeting focused on strengthening institutional support for vulnerable demographics, with particular emphasis on senior citizens and women commuters, the statement added.
During the meeting, the L-G reviewed the functioning, adoption, and operational efficacy of the Delhi Police’s dedicated senior citizen mobile application.
Taking stock of regular outreach, registrations, and beat-level police interface with elderly residents, Sandhu underlined the need to ensure prompt grievance redressal, robust emergency assistance, and sustained periodic visits by local police personnel to guarantee the safety, well-being, and confidence of senior citizens across Delhi.
Lieutenant Governor Sandhu directed a thorough reassessment of the number of senior citizens and the mobile application to be expanded accordingly.
