Overview

• Automatic pumps have been deployed at critical monsoon hotspots, with operators assigned to round-the-clock duty to manage water levels during heavy rains.
• A 2.5-kilometre pipeline has been completed to divert accumulated water from flood-prone areas like the Minto Bridge underpass.
• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and PWD Minister Parvesh Verma have inspected major waterlogging sites, including Minto Bridge, with further inspections planned for locations such as Ring Road and Pul Prahladpur underpass.
• The Delhi government has coordinated efforts across departments, including PWD, MCD, and NDMC, to ensure timely completion of both interim and long-term drainage solutions.
• Short-term measures, such as additional pumps, are being implemented at sites where new drainage infrastructure will take up to a year to complete.
