On Sunday, Delhi Public Works Minister Atishi gave instructions to staff to hasten the process of water drainage and road cleaning from portions of Ring Road in order to maintain a smooth flow of traffic.
Atishi paid visits to the areas impacted by the floods at Chandgiram Akhada, Monastery Market, Nigambodh Ghat, Hanuman Mandir, Shantivan, Rajghat, ITO, and Sachivalaya Road on the Ring Road.
Her examination revealed that several places, ranging from Chandgiram Akhada to ISBT-Kashmere Gate, were experiencing waterlogging problems and that there was muck on the roadways as a result of the recent flooding brought on by heavy rain.
To guarantee a smooth traffic flow and provide relief to the people of Delhi, Atishi instructed the in attendance authorities to hasten the process of water drainage and road cleaning from the stretch of the Ring Road.
As the Ring Road is a vital route for thousands of cars every day and is highly critical for central Delhi, she also gave them the order to work nonstop to clear the flood water from it. She emphasized that in order to quickly resume traffic in the region, the water-drainage and road-cleaning work should be done on a war footing.
Atishi discovered water that had gathered between Red Fort and Nigambodh Ghat. According to a formal statement, she issued instructions for the deployment of additional pumps to hasten the water-drainage procedure.
At Rajghat, Shantivan, and along the section of Vikas Marg in front of ITO, there was flooding. According to the statement, the minister gave the authorities the go-ahead to take the necessary actions to quickly resolve the problem and guarantee rapid water clearance.
Atishi expressed her happiness about the Yamuna river’s dropping water level. She emphasized the need to clean the rails of rubbish and other obstructions in order to return things to normal. She said that several Delhi roads are still being impacted by floodwater, despite the PWD’s best efforts to address the issue. The minister stated that crucial equipment is being deployed and pumping stations are being built up to complete the operation.
