Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 15 –
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini directed all Deputy Commissioners to ensure desilting of drains and canals in their areas and take concrete steps so that there is no waterlogging anywhere in the state during the upcoming monsoon season.
The Chief Minister was chairing the 56th Meeting of Haryana State Drought Relief and Flood Control Board here today. During the meeting, the Chief Minister emphasised that the focus of the Flood Control Board should be on raising structures and setting up robust infrastructure in cities and villages which can stop the flow of water into houses and fields during the monsoon season.
Saini emphasised the construction of stone studs, stone steining, remodelling of drains, construction of permanent pump houses, laying of pipelines in low lying areas and outfalling the flood water into drains across the state. He ordered the review of large number of stone studs constructed for flood control so that any non-functional studs can be timely repaired.
