THE CIVIC BODY HAS PROPOSED THE ₹556 CRORE PROJECT TO RESTORE THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
After multiple cases where roads in Lutyens Delhi caved in due to damage to the British-era sewer lines running underneath, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has proposed an ambitious ₹556 crore project to restore the drainage system, officials said.
Traffic movement is likely to be affected in New Delhi when the work begins. NDMC officials said that the work will only be taken up on coordination with traffic police to minimise snarls, and trenchless technology will be used to reduce the impact on vehicular movement.
