Waterlogging at Ring Road-IP Estate, Sisodia takes stock

To prevent waterlogging at IP Estate opposite the WHO building during the monsoon, the Public Works Department (PWD) is installing nine pumps and is constructing a stormwater drain along with a sump of 5 lakh litres capacity, said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

The stormwater drain is coming up under IPGCL’s plant. A PWD official said it will be ready in 6-7 days.

Inspecting the site on Friday, Sisodia, who also holds the PWD portfolio, said, “Minto Bridge was considered a hotspot for waterlogging during the rain. In the last two years, the Arvind Kejriwal government worked on it.
