Noida officials gear up to tackle water logging

Noida: Taking serious note of complaints of water logging and other rain-related problems, a senior Noida authority officer today visited six sectors in the area on Delhi's outskirts and directed officials to remove the shortcomings.

Noida administrative officer Rajesh Prakash visited the sector 17, 18,19, 20, 21 and 21A and inspected several problems in the area, including water logging caused by poor drainage system, de-silting of drains, debris of under-construction buildings and heavy traffic.

With the onset of the monsoon, residents in the area face problems of water logging and overflowing drains. Besides, inner roads of various sectors are dotted with innumerable potholes.

Meanwhile, Sector 19 RWA representative Laxmi Narayan alleged that the authority officer did not visited the RWA office at community centre though they were waiting for over three hours for him.

"It appears the visit by AO was just an eye wash. Authority officers do not want to listen to RWA
representatives," said Ms Narayan.
