Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Tuesday IJune 24, 2025) inspected Wazirpur Industrial Area to review desilting of storm water drains to avoid waterlogging during rains and said that Delhi will not come to a standstill during monsoon.
“Delhi will not come to a standstill this monsoon. We have mobilised our entire governance machinery -from local representatives to officers-to ensure every drain is cleaned and every street stays functional,” the Minister said after the inspection.
The Minister expressed his satisfaction at the pace and quality of desilting carried out in the area. He said that the cleaning has been done on a war footing with special focus on ensuring that open drains and potholes are being systematically covered and repaired.
“Despite the presence of industrial waste and sewage in the vicinity, the drains in Wazirpur are free-flowing, which clearly reflects the intent and ground-level action of the Delhi Government. The results we see today are due to the persistent follow-up and field presence of our elected representatives and officials,” Mr. Sirsa said.
