No report of waterlogging under Minto Road bridge

There was no report of water logging under the Minto Road Rail Bridge on Thursday despite heavy rainfall in Delhi. The Minto Road Rail Bridge is known for flooding and water logging during monsoon. Over the last two years, extensive waterlogging was seen in many parts of Delhi. A 56-year-old man drowned when his mini-truck was submerged under the Minto Bridge.

The Delhi government’s Public Works Department (PWD) identified seven locations ‘critical’ in terms of waterlogging. Apart from the Minto bridge, these are – IP Estate Ring Road near WHO building, underpasses at Pul Prahladpur, Zakhira, Okhla, Azadpur and Jahangirpuri metro station road.
