Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said changes will be made to Delhi's drainage system based on suggestions received from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) to resolve the issue of water-logging in the city.
The decision was taken at a meeting held to review the national capital's drainage master plan. The meeting was chaired by Mr Kejriwal, according to the Chief Minister's Office (CMO).
Delhi has witnessed massive water-logging this monsoon season. Many arterial stretches, underpasses and even residential areas were inundated after heavy rains in the city.
"Chief Minister convened a review meeting on Delhi's drainage master plan. Necessary changes will be made in drains on suggestions of IIT. Changes will be done keeping in view better discharge of water (during monsoon). Water-logging problem of the city will be solved," the CMO tweeted after the meeting.
Last month, Mr Kejriwal said that a "world-class drainage system" would be developed across the national capital.
He said drainage systems like the one at Minto Road would be replicated across Delhi and drains and sewers would be desilted regularly.
