Delhi Plans Drainage Redevelopment to Address Waterlogging on Dera Mandi Road
The Delhi government is addressing persistent waterlogging on Dera Mandi Road, a key route connecting South West Delhi and Gurgaon, caused by urbanisation and loss of natural drainage. PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh announced plans to construct a new precast RCC drain linking Dera Mandi Road to Bandh Road, with water pumped into the SSN Marg drain. Coordination with Haryana officials aims to redevelop drainage on both sides of the border for long-term relief and improved commuter movement during monsoons.
