Overview
- The package targets waterlogging-prone stretches including Gyan Shakti Mandir Marg, Chhoturam Marg, the Camp Chowk–Azadpur H-Point corridor on Mall Road, Sultanpuri, Rohini, Nangloi Road and Maharaja Agrasen Marg.
- Project-wise estimates include Rs 46.45 crore for the Camp Chowk–Azadpur H-Point stretch and Rs 24.50 crore for Sultanpuri–Nangloi Road, alongside multiple smaller allocations that sum to about Rs 177 crore.
- PWD will use factory-made precast RCC drain sections to accelerate installation, boost flow capacity and improve durability over traditional brick masonry systems.
- Officials say execution will proceed in phases with close monitoring, with the upgrades expected to improve stormwater flow and reduce flood risk in densely populated areas once completed.
- Officials also cite broader plan goals to remodel 300 km of drains next year within a five-year programme estimated at Rs 57,362 crore, with tenders already floated for Azadpur, Mehrauli–Badarpur Road, Nangloi and Khanjawala.
