Delhi High Court Calls for City-Wide Drainage Master Plan to Address Waterlogging
The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi government to report on obstacles hindering the implementation of a city-wide Drainage Master Plan aimed at resolving waterlogging and sewage backflow issues affecting multiple colonies, including Maharani Bagh and Defence Colony. The court emphasized that localized fixes are insufficient and called for an integrated drainage network. Authorities like the Delhi Jal Board highlighted challenges from unregulated sewage outlets in JJ camps contributing to the problem. A joint inspection and status update on the plan's progress were ordered.
