Modern technology to be used in construction of the drain to ensure that there are no obstacles to people’s mobility during the construction work: Dy CM Manish Sisodia
NEW DELHI
The Kejriwal Government is going to construct a massive drain between Hiranki Dam and Nathupura. This would help in eliminating the issue of waterlogging on Burari Road during the rainy season. On Friday, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia approved this project worth Rs 4.95 crore. The Burari Road serves as the connecting road for many smaller colonies and serves thousands of vehicles daily. After the construction of this drain, the local people will get relief from the traffic jams due to water logging during monsoons.
On this occasion, Shri Manish Sisodia said that the Kejriwal Government is committed to providing quality basic facilities to the people of Delhi. He said that because there was no permanent arrangement for drainage on the Burari Road, the people living in the local colonies have to suffer during the monsoons. The Deputy CM has directed PWD officials to take immediate cognizance of this problem & complete the construction work of the drain at the earliest, so that there is no problem in the movement of the local people.
It is noteworthy that the Burari Road was earlier under the jurisdiction of North Delhi Municipal Corporation and was later taken over by PWD. The road has no drainage system of its own between Hiranki Dam to Nathupura, due to which there is water logging on the road during monsoons and a damaged road surface. Taking immediate cognizance of the problem of the local people in this regard, the Kejriwal Government has approved the construction of a drain there.
