January 12, 2026
|The Morning Standard
THE Delhi government is fasttracking four major drainage projects to strengthen the city's storm-water system and provide lasting relief from waterlogging, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Sunday.
The projectsMundka HaltSupplementary Drain, MB Road Storm Water Drain, Kirari-Rithala Trunk Drain and the storm water drain along Rohtak Road (NH-10)-form key components of Delhi's 'Drainage Master Plan', under which the government has accelerated construction and expansion of major trunk drains.
Gupta said Delhi's drainage and sewerage master plan was originally prepared in the 1970s but was not revised despite rapid population growth and largescale construction. She said the present government has now introduced changes keeping in view Delhi's geography, recurring waterlogging and rising population pressure.
