Senior officials of the Revenue Department and Flood and Irrigation Control Department were present during the inspection of the minister. They informed her that their departments are fully prepared for floods.
She asked the officials to find short-term solutions while trying to find a permanent solution to the problem so that the issue of waterlogging does not arise in future.
The Delhi Traffic Police, in a post on X, said, "Movement of traffic is restricted at Okhla underpass due to waterlogging. Kindly plan your journey accordingly." This has forced regular commuters to take alternative routes facing traffic jams en route and delayed journeys.
The Delhi water minister called for a joint inspection of WTP to resolve the issue once and for all.
The minister said Delhi government is ensuring thorough patrolling by ADM and SDM teams across the city that not even a drop of water is wasted due to leakage from the main pipelines.
During the inspection, the Mayor observed that the toll plaza is situated in a densely populated area in Delhi about a kilometer away from the border. Also , there are three schools in that location.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the state of the court premises, Atishi said, “The Saket court complex is regularly used by a large number of judges, lawyers, and their staff.
During the inspection, Aishi found that in many lanes, sewer water was flowing outside the sewer, causing significant inconvenience to people and damaging the streets.
During the inspection, the LG found that the pavements and footpaths were covered with thick layers of dust and loose silt at several places which were flying off with passing vehicles, causing even more pollution.
The NGT directed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Haryana government to examine the dumping of municipal waste on the land allotted for the SWM plant, hardly 140 meters away from the Khol-Hai-Raitan Wildlife Sanctuary.
