Delhi Seeks Control of ITO Barrage from Haryana
Delhi's government wants to take over the ITO barrage, which helps control water flow in the city.
This is because in 2023, heavy rains caused flooding, and the barrage's gates weren't working well.
Delhi hopes to fix the barrage to prevent future flooding.
The government will ask Haryana, which currently manages the barrage, to hand it over.
The old government also wanted to take over the barrage due to poor maintenance.
Delhi government plans to request control of the ITO barrage from Haryana.
The request aims to improve flood management in Delhi.
