Gurgaon Expressway Flood Prevention: Drain and Culvert Work
Imagine the road gets flooded when it rains hard.
The government is building a special path to drain away the water, like a small river.
However, the pipes under the road are blocked with trash, so the water can't flow away.
The government is trying to clean these pipes before the rainy season, but they need help from the city to keep the trash out.
GMDA is building a 750-meter drain to divert rainwater from the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.
The drain aims to prevent flooding of service roads along NH-8 in Narsingpur.
Three culverts along the highway are blocked by encroachments and waste.
NHAI is working to clear the culverts by the weekend.
Residents have faced flooding issues during monsoons for years.
