Summary:
Delhi, the national capital, has become “capital of waterlogging”, said Mr.
Maken, adding that Delhiites have to face long traffic jams due to waterlogging, as a result of which fuel worth crores of rupees is wasted. “This list is incomplete as there are many other chronic roads or areas that are prone to waterlogging,” Mr.
Maken alleged. The Congress stated that the Delhi government has identified 96 places that are prone to frequent waterlogging. Water ride: A motorist wades through a waterlogged street after a spell of rain in New Delhi on Sunday. Delhi government then fixed the next target to complete desilting by June 30, but by June 29 only 37% desilting was completed and by July 27, only 39% desilting could be completed,” said Mr.
Maken quoting PWD data from a Delhi government website..
