A. Sreenivas, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) on Monday convened an inter-department meeting in the GMDA office to deliberate on a broad and long-term comprehensive development plan for enhanced flood preparedness during the monsoon season.
“GMDA has analysed satellite data collated over a period of five years to identify and map the low lying and potential waterlogging prone areas under Gurugram Manesar Urban Complex area. Out of the 79 vulnerable spots falling along GMDA master roads in 2020, remedial measures and laying of adequate infrastructure have been taken by the Authority on 63 such locations to provide relief during heavy rainfall.
We will also identify additional new hotspots where waterlogging has been reported this year which will be shared with the respective departments. A Committee will be formed to chart a cohesive and long-term comprehensive plan to equip the city with adequate and efficient drainage system and to mitigate urban flooding,” said CEO GMDA.
