To spare the city the recurrent water logging problem during the monsoon, the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) would have the big drains marked and cleaned. Besides, it has decided to float tenders on the matter. This aside, even the small drains are being taken care of to ensure that there is no waterlogging during the rainy season, the civic body officers said.
Speaking about the matter, the municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey said, ‘Before the advent of the rainy season, we have turned our focus on the drains in the city. This year, we have decided to mark the big drains of the city. Once they are marked the task of cleaning them will be given through tenders. We will also ensure that even the small drains in the city are cleaned to make the water logging problem minimal.’’
