Gurgaon: The most recent spell of rain following cyclone Tauktae has demonstrated Gurgaon still has to focus on its own chronic waterlogging issue despite a few steps taken through recent years. Prior to the monsoon se ts within this calendar year, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) intends to establish a flood control area to track areas impacted by waterlogging and require steps to deal with the issue. The jurisdiction has invited agencies to run the flooding control area and fix the stormwater drains until June 25. Officials stated the control room will be installed at a price for Rs 70 lakh and function in communicating with various government agencies. It is going to also have a helpline for individuals to lodge complaints associated with waterlogging. “After a complaint is received, it’ll be offered to the officer set up for that place. A group will go to the place and drain out the water,” a GMDA officer stated. The metropolitan power has identified about 50 black areas famous for waterlogging. A Number of Them include Basai Road, Khandsa Chowk, Iffco Chowk, Rajeev Chowk and Subhash Chowk. The Golf Course region, that was shrouded this past calendar year, failed to make it into the listing. GMDA also has issued tenders for machines to pump water out. For manning the flooding management center, sub-divisional officials have been appointed. “They’ll operate in shifts. The control area will function through the afternoon,” an official said. The issue of waterlogging is far from within town has been evident a couple of days back after the Tauktae-induced rain inundated many places. Officials admitted that delay at drain jobs had contributed to waterlogging in some places, however insisted that the water didn’t remain for at least two hours. For example, GMDA had suggested an extra drain to examine waterlogging in Iffco Chowk, however, the job is to determine light of their day. Originally, the police had intended to install flood management measures by May, however, have pushed the deadline to June 25. TOI had reported that GMDA officials were requested to start work on a flood management plan per week. One of the steps are building check dams from the Aravalis and repairing the current ones in order that water out of the hills doesn’t flow in the city. Cleaning and desilting of drains were scheduled before, but got postponed due to the lockdown, officials explained.
