Lieutenant Governor Directs Year-Round Desilting of Drains to Combat Delhi Flooding |

Lieutenant governor VK Saxena has directed officials to make desilting and declogging of drains and sewer lines a year-round effort instead of just a temporary measure before the monsoon. This change aims to tackle the longstanding issue of pending desilting work that has built up over time. By following this new strategy, authorities hope to see a significant improvement in flooding and waterlogging in Delhi. Reports from government departments, agencies, and feedback from residents have already shown positive results after focused efforts on key drains. Saxena emphasized the importance of making desilting and declogging a continuous and permanent practice to prevent future issues.
