India, May 21 -- The construction of a 1.1-km storm water drain connecting the drain near the Rajiv Chowk-Medanta underpass stretch with the master storm water drain on Sohna Road will be completed by June 15, officials of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) said.

Officials said the under-construction drain passes through Tau Devi Lal Stadium and is aimed at diverting water from Sector 32 towards Sector 38, the Medanta hospital road and Rajiv Chowk to the Sohna Road stormwater drain. They said the project is expected to prevent annual waterlogging in the area during the monsoon.

GMDA officials said the drain would connect the stormwater drainage network between sectors 32 and 38 with the master drain on Sohna Road.
