Keeping the upcoming monsoons in mind, New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has set up six control rooms across the area under its administration to respond to issues of waterlogging, NDMC member Kuljeet Singh Chahal said on Monday.
Mr. Chahal said that to avoid infrastructural collapse during rains, NDMC has de-silted 11,867 manholes and 8,704 bell mouths already. In addition, labourers have been deployed in 25 stations, especially dedicated to de-silting of drains. Super Sucker machines are also being deployed for de-silting of drainage lines as and when the need arises.
