Delhi Government Opens Permanent Pump House to Address Civil Lines Waterlogging
The Delhi government inaugurated a permanent pump house at the Metcalfe House Regulator in Civil Lines to address chronic waterlogging caused by high Yamuna water levels. This facility replaces the previous annual deployment of temporary pumps, ensuring continuous drainage when the regulator is closed during floods. Equipped with multiple submersible pumps and a diesel generator, the pump house aims to prevent water accumulation on roads and residential areas, improving flood management and reducing traffic disruptions in North Delhi.
