New Delhi, Dec. 19 -- The Public Works Department (PWD) has started constructing a drain and sump near the Zakhira flyover in west Delhi to resolve the persistent problem of waterlogging, given that the underpass in the vicinity has been shut multiple times during monsoon due to flooding.
Officials said that the site has been identified as a waterlogging hot spot and Rs.4 crore has been allocated for permanent fixes.
"The topography under the flyover is such that rainwater naturally accumulates. At present, the water has to be pumped out using temporary arrangements," an official aware of the matter said. HTC
