Hydraa, in coordination with civic bodies, cleaned clogged stormwater drains and sewer lines across GHMC, CMC and MMC as part of monsoon preparedness. DRF teams removed truckloads of waste, cleared the blocked Aghapura nala and restored the free flow of floodwater at key locations.
The GHMC has approved a resolution to allocate Rs 2 crore for each of its 150 divisions to strengthen civic infrastructure. The funds are intended for improvements in roads, drainage, streetlights, pollution control, stormwater drains, parks, community halls, and other public amenities.
Rao directed officials to ensure fencing and capping of stormwater drains on a priority basis and pointed out that funds accorded by the State government had strengthened the Strategic Nala Development wing.
The Minister, who had visited and reviewed the work at Begumpet on Monday, inspected the desilting of the drain located near the Pension Office, Banjara Hills on Tuesday.
