Aimed at strengthening the stormwater drainage system at Deep Complex, village Hallomajra, Chandigarh, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has started the work of augmentation of providing and laying 450mm RCC pipeline for the disposal of stormwater and construction of streets with paver blocks in internal streets under MPLAD funds.
Member Parliament of Chandigarh Kirron Kher today laid the foundation stone for the augmentation of providing and laying a stormwater drainage system in the presence of Sh. Anup Gupta, Mayor, Anindita Mitra, IAS, Commissioner, Gurcharanjit Singh, area councillor, other councillors and other prominent persons of the local area.
While speaking on the occasion, the Member Parliament said that this work will not only improve the stormwater drainage system in the area but also prevent rainwater stagnation, ensuring smooth passage for commuters and local residents.
She said that it was long pending demand of the local residents that rainwater accumulates and causes inconvenience to local residents and commuters on some internal streets of the Deep complex in Hallomajra. After conducting a survey, it has been decided that laying new storm water drainage lines are necessary on these internal streets. Therefore, the Municipal Corporation has started this work under MPLAD funds.
The Mayor said that this work would be completed within eight months of the time period at an approximate cost of Rs. 1 crore. He said that the MCC will provide and lay a 450mm (18”) i/d RCC NP-2 pipeline with an approximate length of 1707 meters along with the construction of manhole chambers and road gully chambers. Once the Storm Water Drainage line is laid, the streets will be reconstructed using paver blocks, he added
