Gurugram, Aug. 1 -- To tackle waterlogging in residential sectors and along key arterial routes -- from Signature Tower to Maharana Pratap Chowk and further down to Sheetla Mata Road -- the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has decided to widen a part of the Leg 2 storm water drain that runs through city's core locations such as the Millennium City Centre metro station, Atul Kataria Chowk, and Sheetla Mata Road, among others. Officials said 5km stretch of the total 21km of the drain will be widened at an estimated cost of Rs.20 crore to enhance its carrying capacity. The move is aimed at preventing inundation in several residential sectors and private colonies that have been facing recurring problems during the monsoon. Heavy waterlogging was reported along Sheetla Mata Road after rains lashed the city on July 7 and 28. "We plan to widen the drain from Signature Tower crossing to Bhimgarh Khairi. The existing width ranges between 2.5 metres and 3.5 metres, and we aim to double the capacity to 5 - 7 metres," said Vikram Singh, executive engineer, GMDA....
