Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao has asked officials to expedite the works pertaining to stormwater drains under the Strategic Nala Development Programme and complete them before monsoons.
During a review meeting on Wednesday on prevention of disasters during the coming monsoons, Mr.Rama Rao said 90 per cent of the sanctioned works within GHMC have already begun. Measures should be taken to start the remaining works too by completing the tender process.
He asked officials to include any drains missing in the SNDP, which need expansion immediately. A total 60 works have been sanctioned under SNDP, of which 37 come under GHMC, and the remaining under peripheral municipalities.
