New Delhi, May 10 -- The Public Works Department (PWD) plans to install CCTV cameras at South Delhi's Moolchand and Pul Prahladpur underpasses to increase monitoring of waterlogging hotspots.
Through the installation of CCTV cameras, the real-time situation at the underpasses would be received at the PWD's flood control room and further decisions would be taken depending on the status, they said.
As per the existing standard operating procedure set by the PWD, if the depth of water accumulation in an underpass at any location is observed to be 6-8 inches, the control room is supposed to immediately inform the field unit and check with pump operators if the pumps are working.
If the water level keeps rising, the traffic police are alerted...
