Delhi: PWD to tackle 50 key points to plug waterlogging

NEW DELHI: The public works department (PWD) has identified 147 vulnerable points for waterlogging in the city, out of which the situation remains particularly troublesome at seven locations where measures like drain redesigning and sensors have already been adopted. In the second phase, corrective measures will be introduced at 50 critical points.

“In the first phase, several short- and long-term solutions are being introduced at seven most vulnerable points. Now 50 more locations, which fall under the critical category, will be studied to identify the problems, quantum of flow and localised solutions. Phase I is expected to be completed by February and Phase II by December 2022,” a senior official said.
