Atishi, accompanied by Public Works Department (PWD) engineers, visited different areas in south and southeast Delhi.
In a post on X, the chief minister said she found roads at NSIC Okhla, Modi Mill flyover, Chirag Dilli, Tughalakabad, Mathura Road, Ashram Chowk and its underpass in a dilapidated condition. People have to face problems because of potholes on these roads, she said.

Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inspected roads in east Delhi.
Sisodia, in a post on X, alleged that the BJP sent him and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to jail in fake cases to stall the work being done by the AAP government for the people of Delhi.
Because of this, the condition of roads has worsened, he said.
Ministers Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Imran Hussain and Mukesh Ahlawat also inspected roads.
Rai inspected roads in northeast Delhi, Gahlot in west and southwest Delhi, Hussain in New Delhi and central Delhi and Ahlawat in north and northwest Delhi.
On Sunday, Atishi held a meeting to review the condition of roads in the city and said that all ministers would inspect roads in designated areas for a week to identify those in need of repair.
After the inspection, repair work will be started and all roads are expected to be pothole-free by the end of October, she had said.
