Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday flagged off advanced amphibious excavator machines at Badusarai Bridge for the cleaning of Najafgarh Drain and Pankha Road Drain, marking a major step towards strengthening Delhi’s drainage system. The deployment of modern long-and-short boom machines will accelerate desilting and the removal of garbage and water hyacinth, and improve the water-carrying capacity of drains, thereby reducing waterlogging during the monsoon while contributing to the larger goal of cleaning the Yamuna.
