Delhi Government to Remodel 300 km of Drainage Network Under New Master Plan

The Delhi government plans to remodel 300 km of its drainage network in the next financial year as part of a five-year Drainage Master Plan unveiled in September. The plan aims to reduce waterlogging by 50% within three years and flood-related accidents by 30% in five years, with an estimated cost of Rs 57,362 crore. Projects in waterlogging hotspots like Azadpur, Mehrauli-Badarpur road, and North Delhi areas have been sanctioned, with tenders floated and funds approved. The plan considers existing infrastructure limitations to improve drainage efficiency systematically.
