As NHAI indifferent to flooding at Pumpwell Circle, MCC steps in

Two cross drains are being built to drain out rainwater from the Circle in Mangaluru to a stormwater drain

With National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) indifferent to flooding at Pumpwell Circle on NH 66 and accusing the media of exaggerating the issue, Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has taken up the task of draining out rainwater from the area. MCC Commissioner Akshy Sridhar told The Hindu, “We wrote to NHAI to take this [cross drainage work] up. Since we didn’t get any response, MCC has taken up the work to avoid inconvenience to motorists.”
