Delhi Government Approves Rs 622 Crore Flood Control and Drainage Improvement Plan
The Delhi government approved Rs 622 crore for flood management projects, including a 4.7 km reinforced cement concrete wall along the Yamuna River to protect low-lying areas during high water levels. The plan also includes three biomining projects worth Rs 260 crore to scientifically process and dispose of silt from drains, particularly the Najafgarh drain. Additionally, beautification efforts for drain banks with walkways, green belts, and lighting were discussed to improve public spaces and prevent silt from re-entering drains during rains.
