New Delhi, July 24 -- The Delhi government on Thursday inaugurated a permanent pump house at the Metcalf House Regulator in Civil Lines to tackle chronic waterlogging in the area during periods of high Yamuna water levels, replacing the annual practice of deploying temporary pumps during the monsoon.
The facility was inaugurated by Public Works Department (PWD) and water minister Parvesh Verma. Officials said it has been designed to ensure the uninterrupted drainage of stormwater when the Metcalf House Regulator is shut because of rising water levels in the Yamuna. Verma said the vulnerable locations across the city are being identified as part of Delhi's broader monsoon preparedness plan. htc
