The drain desilting work is in “war-phase” ahead of the onset of monsoon and is expected to be completed by June 15.
So far, workers have removed 87,000 metric tonnes of silt from 688 drains, the Delhi Municipal Corporation said in a statement.
“The MCD is working on war footing to meet the target of cleaning all drains under its jurisdiction before the onset of monsoon.
“Taking steps forward, the corporation has successfully completed more than 96 per cent of the desilting work and is all set to complete the desilting work before June 15,” the civic body said in a statement.
