A day after Delhi was brought to a standstill by 2 hours of rain, traffic police blamed faulty infrastructure
It was always evident but now it's official. After heavy showers on Wednesday created chaos on the streets of Delhi, which didn't spare even the chief minister, traffic police said the problem was due to shortcomings in the city's infrastructure.
"There are problems with the infrastructure created by the government. You have constructed so many flyovers, underpasses etc but did not make adequate arrangements for pumping water out of these places in case of rains," special commissioner, traffic police, Ajay Chadda told MiD DAY.
The major problem of water-logging and traffic chaos ensued. The city government has constructed over a hundred flyovers, underpasses and railway bridges in recent years in the wake of the Commonwealth Games.
"There are low lying areas in the city. For instance Tilak Bridge till a few years back used to be a big bottleneck. After the number of pumps was increased the water-logging issue has been addressed to a great level," the commissioner said, adding that the same should have been done in the case of other bridges and flyovers.
