GMDA to Use Robots for Drain Inspection and Enhance Monsoon Preparedness in Gurugram
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) plans to use robotic surveys after June 15 to inspect surface drains along master roads, assessing desilting progress and identifying bottlenecks that may cause waterlogging during the monsoon. Approximately 70% of the city's 120km drain network has been cleaned. GMDA will deploy around 40 pumps by June 30, install CCTV cameras for monitoring, and station operators for round-the-clock readiness. The authority will also assist builders and resident welfare associations with internal drainage issues under GMDA CEO PC Meena's guidance.
