KOLKATA: A new drainage system and pumping station will be inaugurated on the Bangur-Lake Town link road on Saturday. The pumping station, set up by South Dum Dum municipality, will help minimise waterlogging in large areas of Lake Town and Bangur, benefiting over 52,000 residents of the area.
Officials said that the pumping station with a capacity of 0.3 cubic metre per second or alternatively 1,080 cubic metre per hour will cater to an area of about 85,000 square metres covering Lake Town and Bangur which often get flooded during heavy rain.
