‘Illegal constructions and encroachments led to floods’
The Hindu
A study commissioned by the NITI Ayog said much of the damage reported during the unprecedented floods in the twin cities in October last was due to overflowing lakes, Hussainsagar in the middle of the city in particular, and breaching of storm water drains.
Construction over lake beds and encroachments of drainage channels were identified as problems that exacerbated flooding and inundation in the city.
