In the meantime, the Karol Bagh Zone of the MCD has launched a special drive to de-silt all covered drains in the area, the statement said.

The zonal staff has successfully de-silted drains in all 13 wards under their jurisdiction. Additionally, the cleaning of bell mouths and gully gratings across the entire zone has been undertaken. So far, the MCD has cleaned 76 nalahs (drainage channels), 5,940 gully gratings, and 1,435 bell mouths, according to the civic body.

"Sanitation staff from the Karol Bagh Zone have been deployed around the clock at all vulnerable points to prevent waterlogging. As soon as it starts raining, even at midnight, sanitation workers take immediate steps to clear clogged garbage, such as plastic bags, bottles, and chips packets, from bell mouths to ensure faster water drainage during heavy rains," the statement added.

In addition, sanitation workers from the DEMS (Department of Environment Management Services) in Karol Bagh Zone have been stationed at the Zonal Control Room for night shifts to handle any emergencies caused by heavy rains or other incidents during the night.

The MCD claimed that these proactive measures by the Karol Bagh Zone's sanitation department have effectively managed the waterlogging problem during rains.
