Kolkata: The State Irrigation Department is planning the main reshuffle of the Bagjola and Ktopur channel, two main drainage outlet channels that are redden from excessive rain from Bidnagar, new cities and the Civic Dum body area.
The plan includes the resurrection of the entire Bagjola channel and the right intelligent channel maintenance.
The state irrigation department has secured a road map for Destilt and dredge the crater of the masturbation and Bagjola.
Minister of Irrigation Soumen Mahapatra will hold a meeting with his department official next Wednesday.
The Minister said, “When I was responsible for the department of irrigation, the canals were not clogged as it is now.

“Irrigation officials said that a thorough Dest and Destrent Plan for the lower bagjola canal had been carved and will be taken after the rainy season.
“The Kestopur canal will also require proper maintenance work, including cleaning of mud,” an official said.
The Bagjola canal, which stretches almost 38 km, brings water along the BT road before entering VIP Road and Rajarhat.
This is the main drainage outlet channel for South Dum Dum, New Town and Bidhannagar Civic’s body area.
The Kertopur canal is connected to the Bagjola channel in Rajarhat.
