North Delhi Mayor Preety Agarwal on Thursday alleged that the Public Works Department (PWD) has not desilted the choked drains under its jurisdiction, resulting in heavy water logging in the Capital.
Preety Agarwal said that the corporation had already completed desilting most of the major drains and those at the roadside with four feet depth nut Delhi Government has not even undertaken sewer cleaning in any part of the city.
"PWD has not taken care to ensure proper disposal of rain water at its vulnerable points," she said. She further said "The North Corporation is taking the best possible steps to minimize the water-logging during monsoon season. Since the outfall of MCD drains are in drains maintained by the PWD that is not desilted yet, creating havoc among citizen."
Mayor said that she also apprised the Urban Development Minister about the problem which has become a regular feature and creating havoc among the Delhiites.
