New Delhi: Acting on the Delhi high court’s order, the government has set up a committee under the urban development secretary to look into waterlogging complaints. The committee, which will also have the commissioners of the three corporations as its members, will compile a report to be submitted before the court, said urban development minister Arvinder Singh Lovely in the Delhi assembly on Thursday. The statement came in response to the repeated complaints made by several Congress MLAs on waterlogging, waterborne diseases and traffic jams during the monsoon session. “I can not deny that traffic jams, waterlogging and all other problems did not happen during this monsoon session due to heavy rain. On August 31, we convened a meeting with the civic bodies like PWD and the corporations to prepare a roadmap on the issue,” he said. On August 28, the high court had asked the Delhi government to form a committee of senior officers from various authorities to evolve a mechanism to desilt drains and prevent waterlogging during the rain.
