NEW DELHI: Taking stock of the effect on the city of the season’s first rainfall, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia claimed no waterlogging was recorded in six of the seven hotspots identified by Delhi government. Sisodia, who is in charge of the public works and irrigation & flood control departments, claimed city residents did not face any major problems despite Thursday’s heavy rainfall. He, however, sought a detailed account from officials of the post-rainfall action.
“The entire city received heavy rainfall for hours but due to the alertness of PWD, MCD, irrigation & flood control department and revenue department and the measures taken in the past year to deal with waterlogging, Delhiites did not have to face the problem of waterlogging in most places,” Sisodia said in a statement.
