Decades-old waterlogging problem being resolved through Sunehri Nala Desilting: Delhi CM

New Delhi, Dec 16 (UNI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inspected the ongoing desilting work of Sunehri Nala (Barapullah Drain) in South Delhi and reviewed the progress of the under-construction Barapullah Bridge Phase-III, which will connect South Delhi with East Delhi.
During the inspection, the Chief Minister directed officials to ensure quality, speed and transparency in the execution of all works, stating that the Delhi Government is resolving long-pending legacy issues left behind by previous governments, including incomplete and unscientific projects.
