Failure of storm sewer triggers waterlogging

Amritsar | Saturday | 20th July, 2019

Summary:

Despite having storm sewerage, the area remains inundated for hours after showers. The streets and major roads of the walled city have storm sewerage, but these provide a little respite. Apart from the walled city area, BRTS authorities had installed storm sewerage along with the 30-km metro bus corridor. One of the MC officials had claimed that the storm sewerage was not functional at the BRTS route as it was silt up during construction. No government agency has conducted desilting of the storm sewerage alongside the metro bus corridor..
