No waterlogging in Delhi despite heavy rainfall: CM Rekha Gupta

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday said that despite heavy rains, the national capital did not witness waterlogging and assured that the government is working hard to address issues in certain areas.

Gupta made the statement after inaugurating DDA's Aarambh Pustakalaya at Adhchini Village in south Delhi here, along with Lt Governor V K Saxena.

"Delhi has begun a new journey. As you have observed, we conducted multiple inspections at Barapullah, Kushak Drain, and Minto Bridge. Despite heavy rainfall, there was no waterlogging, which was a legacy. This time, there was no such thing. ITO and Barapullah were smooth," she told reporters on the sidelines of the event.

Gupta stressed that the government is working on improving conditions in a few areas.

"There are some areas where long-term solutions are needed. In the next year, the situation will be better during the rains. The government is working hard for this," she added.
