EDMC to levy waste penalty

BS Vohra, president of, East Delhi RWAs Federation, said imposing a penalty is just not right. “The civic body is ready to levy fines on people without even holding a discussion with the residents. They first need to provide adequate services. When there is waterlogging in the streets and potholes, there is no penalty imposed on the civic body for inconveniencing residents,” said Vohra.

Intense 3-hour rain spell brings Delhi to a grinding halt yet again - HT

Resident groups said the city’s situation during sharp spells of rain highlighted the apathy of the city’s civic agencies.

“IIT-Delhi submitted its final report on the city’s Drainage Master Plan in 2018. Why has the implementation process not started even after three years? This could have saved the residents from these regular waterlogging woes,” said BS Vohra, president of Federation of East Delhi RWAs.

Can you wait for a few years to get rid of waterlogging in Delhi?

Our question is that how long it will take to manage the drainage system of Delhi, 8 साल तो हो गए, अभी और कितने साल इसी तरह से डूबना उतरना पडेगा?

Is there any responsibility of Delhi Govt or Civic Agencies to save the city from waterlogging?

Subject: Is there any responsibility of Delhi Govt or Civic Agencies to save the city from waterlogging?

Dear Sir,

The situation has worsened year after year as with every drop of rain, Delhi now gets waterlogged all over. Just name the area & you will get the viral videos of knee-deep water, be it Chanakya Puri, Sadar Bazar, Vikas Marg, Rajouri Garden, Greater Kailash, Naraina Vihar, or Krishna Nagar.

Shockingly, even the flyovers convert into rivers & turn into waterfalls, making it horrible for those driving in deep waters, as well as those facing the brunt of such dangerous waterfalls.

So one thing is clear that no proper desilting is being done by our Civic Agencies & PWD. Even the drains on the Flyovers remain clogged & none cares. What is the use of multiple agencies, if none of them is answerable to the public for all the mess, all over the city?

Therefore, we hereby request & demand a single agency to look after all the waterlogging & drainage issues of our city, so that, none gets a chance to escape. All the multiple agencies must immediately be brought under a single banner to save the city from unnecessary blame game tactics.

Please look into it as people are now fed up with the junk system that is unable to perform.

With best regards,

Jt. Signatory
