With NHAI shirking duty, MCC builds drain to stop flooding below Pumpwell flyover

NHAI claims that flooding of the roads below was a creation of the media

With National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) shirking its responsibility of preventing flooding at Pumpwell Circle, Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) completed construction of a cross-drain below the flyover.

The 100-metre-long cross-drain is covered by perforated grills to dispose rainwater that accumulates at the Circle. The cross-drain is connected to the main drain nearby. MCC had commenced work on the cross-drain a couple of months ago.
