The morning rain brought power cuts and water-logging in several areas of the state capital, on Thursday. Areas around Kashmiri Mohalla, Chaupatian, Balaganj, Mari Mata Mandir, Kishore Vihar, Monarch city, Ghasiyari Mandi, low-lying areas of Chowk and Thakurganj witnessed water-logging.
On the complaint of one Barkha Mehta, mayor Sanyukta Bhatia reached the former’s house in Mahanagar, where she directed city engineer Manish Awasthi to install a pump to clear water from the area. The mayor visited other areas around the city and took stock of the water-logging situation.
The mayor said, “We have sent teams immediately from where complaints of water-logging were received. All the water-logging was cleared within three hours.”
