Minto Bridge drainage not right, fix it, says LG

Expressing his displeasure over the drainage system developed at Minto Bridge, lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Saturday pointed out technical flaws in it and asked officials to make necessary corrections.

He also directed them to remove the garbage and sludge collected in the sump at Minto Bridge and submit a report within three-four days along with photographic and video evidence.

Two days after the first spell of monsoon brought the city to its knees and waterlogging was reported from different areas, Saxena inspected some of the vulnerable spots with a team of officials to take stock of the arrangements made to prevent similar situations later. He first visited the Indraprastha Estate-WHO stretch of Ring Road, followed by Pul Prahladpur and at last reached Minto Bridge.
