Nirmal Officials Tackle Flooding by Clearing Drainage Systems
The city of Nirmal is working to prevent flooding during the monsoon season.
They're cleaning out the Nalas, which are like big drainage ditches, to make sure the water can flow freely.
Over the past few years, heavy rains have caused floods in Nirmal, with water getting into homes and on roads.
Officials are removing things that block the water, like garbage and buildings built too close to the Nalas.
They also want people to stop throwing trash in the water.
This should help keep the city safer when it rains.
Nirmal municipal officials are desilting and clearing encroachments from Nalas.
The efforts aim to prevent flooding in low-lying areas during the monsoon season.
Desiltation and encroachment removal have been conducted in multiple colonies.
Officials are widening Nalas to ensure free drainage flow and prevent overflow.
Encroachments and dumped garbage are identified as key contributors to flooding.
