Waterlogging woes to be addressed in hour-long time: Jain

With monsoon forecast to reach the national capital later this week, the Delhi government today said it has fixed an hour-long deadline to deal with ensuing complaints of waterlogging.
Delhi PWD Minister Satyendar Jain said the government has set up a designated system to address such grievances.
"Under this system, complaints of waterlogging will be disposed within an hour of receiving the same through call centre set up by the government," Jain told reporters here.
He said people won't have to face problems of waterlogging on roads during the monsoon season.
Earlier this month, the AAP government had set up a unified control room to deal with complaints related to water-logging on roads.

People can register complaints on 1800118595.
"The unified control room will receive complaints related to waterlogging from the general public and will further assign them to the office/department concerned for immediate action and resolution," the official said.
The control room will work round-the-clock. Last year too, the AAP government had also issued a helpline to receive complaints of waterlogging in the streets.
