L-G orders agencies to urgently clear clogged drains, remove encroachment
NEW DELHI: L-G V K Saxena on Thursday chaired a meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority and directed agencies to urgently carry out desilting of drains and removal of encroachment along the drains, Raj Niwas officials said. The L-G directed the Irrigation & Flood Control department, PWD, MCD, and NDMC to carry out extensive desilting of the drains, that should have been completed by June 15, and clear all choked drains on an urgent basis, an official said. Noting that disposal of garbage and construction and demolition waste in the drains and heavy encroachment along the drains were primarily responsible for choking of drains that cause waterlogging in the city, he particularly directed the MCD to step up monitoring of drains and impose penalty for disposing garbage in them. ‘Remove waste, debris’ The L-G directed agencies particularly the PWD, Railways and NCRTC to expedite and remove all their equipment and waste from the Yamuna at the earliest.
