NEW DELHI: The move will be crucial to help rid the Capital of its annual waterlogging woes during the monsoon, the officials said. The Delhi government had appointed PWD as the nodal agency for the implementation of Delhi's drainage master plan in 2021.
Delhi has 201 natural drains, divided into three natural drainage basins Najafgarh basin with 123 drains, Barapullah basin with 44 drains, and the Trans-Yamuna basin with 34 drains.
On Friday, the PWD invited bids to hire companies that will oversee a master plan for the drainage network in the Barapullah and Trans-Yamuna basins, senior agency officials said, adding that it is already in the final stage of hiring a consultant to revamp the Najafgarh basin.
