New stormwater drainage line in Vejalpur to ease residents' woes
Updated: Oct 22nd, 2024
The installation of a stormwater drainage pipeline and a water pumping station in Vejalpur to ease the residents' woes has not been entirely successful. The pumping station has failed to work effectively.
During the monsoon, areas such as Vejalpur, Sonal Cinema Road, and the area of the Makarba police headquarters experienced severe waterlogging.
To tackle these issues, Water Committee chairman Dilip Bagaria has announced a new stormwater drainage line. It will extend from Vejalpur to Okaf, passing through Fatehwadi Canal crossroads and the Sabarmati River, with an estimated budget of ₹39.27 crore.
Similar problems have also been noted in Manekbaug and Shreyas bridge areas where the existing pipelines are not working properly. So, the committee has decided to install a new pipeline again with at a cost of ₹180.17 crore for this area.
