Gurugram, June 29 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has yet to complete desilting work at 87 of its 155 identified waterlogging hotspots, with work finished at 68 locations, officials said, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast the monsoon's arrival in Delhi-NCR by the first week of July. According to data, desilting has yet to begin at 29 of these 87 hotspots, while work at the remaining sites is ongoing. Officials said the MCG has classified these hotspots across the city's eight zones into three categories: minor, moderate and hypercritical. A hotspot is minor if water recedes within two hours, moderate if waterlogging persists for two to three hours, and hypercritical if it lasts for more than three hours. According to officials, in Zone 1, of the 13 identified hotspots, desilting has been completed at six, while work remains pending at seven; progress above 50% at three, and 25-50% at others. In Zone 2, the MCG has identified 23 hotspots, desilting completed at 10 locations, work at four hotspots yet to begin, while progress at the remaining locations is nearing the halfway mark. In Zone 3, the MCG has identified 18 hotspots, desilting completed at 11 locations, while work at four hotspots is yet to begin. In Zone 4, 15 hotspots, work completed at three, desilting yet to start at three. In Zone 5, 29 hotspots, 13 done, 9 yet to begin, rest underway. In Zone 6, 22 hotspots, 8 done. In Zone 7, 21 hotspots, 11 done. In Zone 8, 14 hotspots, 6 done. Officials told HT that around 84 suction tankers, 119 pumps and over 155 personnel will be deployed across these zones to pump out the accumulated water during rains. "Efforts are underway to complete desilting work at the remaining waterlogging hotspots. Of the pending locations, work at most sites is already halfway complete, while the rest will be finished in the coming days. Several measures are being taken to prevent waterlogging across the city during the monsoon," said a senior MCG official....
