LUDHIANA: Punjab traffic adviser has written to the local bodies department, highlighting the poor storm sewer system in the city that led to waterlogging on Monday and Tuesday. Stormwater drain system should be a standalone network not to be connected to sewerage drains. Existing open spaces and water bodies like ponds should be protected as they act as natural sinks. Encroachments on them need to be removed.”“Planning of new infrastructure , including roads, should be done keeping in mind the flow of stormwater. Special attention needs to be paid to maintenance of Buddha Nullah, which is currently being used as a carrier of untreated sewage.
