Bhubaneswar Officials Review Drainage Channels for Flood Control
Imagine the city has big drains to carry away rainwater, like giant pipes.
The government is checking these drains, called Gangua nullah and Daya West canal, to make sure they work well so the city doesn't flood when it rains.
They're cleaning the drains, making plans to fix problems, and making sure water can flow smoothly.
Officials are also looking at how another city fixed its drains to learn new ideas.
