The Delhi government has approved a Rs 263 crore drainage plan for the Kirari area, which routinely sinks under sewage during the monsoon. The major infrastructure project aims to address chronic flooding in the locality.
According to government records, Kirari has more than 100 unauthorised colonies without a sewerage system. This gap in basic infrastructure puts additional pressure on the area's limited drainage capacity.
The plan represents a significant intervention for an area where the absence of proper sewerage has left residents vulnerable to sewage overflow whenever it rains.
