The task force, led by Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta, would ensure that all drains are cleaned before the onset of monsoon and that there is prop- er machinery available to clear water logging-prone areas in the shortest possible time.
The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by the Delhi chief minister and attended by all stakeholders, including MCD, NDMC, PWD, flood and irrigation department, officers of the revenue department and other related departments, a senior Delhi government offi- cial said.
To check proper cleaning of drains, a team of 27 sub-divi- sional magistrates from nine districts of Delhi will act as third party inspectors. The team will ensure that all 1,550 drains of the city are properly de-silted before the monsoon.
The PWD, MCD and the NDMC also identified water logging-prone points on roads in their jurisdiction and set up pumping stations to clear stag- nated water immediately.
