Halted SWD canal construction results waterlogging in this Whitefield area

Storm Water Drain (SWD) canal construction work that halted abruptly about six months back at Belathur in Whitefield has now resulted in waterlogging, causing inconvenience to the residents living in the area.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) however argued that they were helpless as the works were stopped due to litigation. It should be noted that in over 118 survey numbers the civic body was unable to carry out anti-encroachment drive due to litigation.

The construction of the drain here was started in October, 2022, to channel rainwater to avoid flooding during monsoon.
