Completed 95% of desilting of drains, claim MCD, PWD

NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Public Works Department on Wednesday claimed to have completed desilting of over 95 per cent of drains falling under their jurisdictions days before the arrival of monsoon here.

PWD officials said elaborate arrangements have been made to ensure that waterlogging does not take place during the upcoming monsoon season.

PWD and civic officials said the process of desilting of drains will be completed before the arrival of monsoon in the city.

According to IMD officials, the monsoon generally arrives in the national capital by the last week of June. However, the IMD has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers or light rain over the next six days.
