While talking to the press media, Sanjay Baru said that every year during the rainy season, the people suffer losses. The district administration does work on a temporary basis by holding meetings only. But to resolve this issue permanently, the encroachment on both sides of the Nallah / drain is required to be removed and thereafter nallah must be constructed raising walls both the sides from Akhnoor Road via Chaman Vihar, Kabir Colony to Bagh Bain Camp Gole Gujral to solve this problem once for all. He further added that he made every best possible efforts to solve this problem in JMC.
The DPR of this drain was also prepared but only Rs. 2.5 crore was made available by the administration, due to which a part of the Nallah has been constructed, but to complete it, it is necessary to build the whole Nallah/drain in one go. Since Amrit 2 is being funded, it should be approved as soon as possible so that the construction of this drain can be completed before next year’s rains.
