It is expected that monsoon will be arriving in Mumbai by the second week of June and in order to avoid waterlogging in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is taking necessary measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The BMC Standing Committee chief Yashwant Jadhav recently visited the eastern suburbs to check on the pre-monsoon nullah cleaning work and learned that 60 per cent of the work had been completed.
Furthermore, Jadhav instructed the civic officials to complete the pending repair work for roads in the city before the onset of monsoon.
On Thursday, the Standing Committee chief along with Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) P. Velrasu visited the eastern suburbs. This was the second time, Jadhav had visited the eastern Mumbai to check on the pending pre-monsoon nullah cleaning work. He said that the work is being conducted on a 24-hour basis and the road repair work is being carried out alongside.
The officials also added that the entire 21-km stretch from Sion Station to Check Naka is being reconstructed for better transportation during monsoon and the Standing Committee chief inspected the progress of the work.
Jadhav also instructed the civic officials to inspect the Laxmi Baug nullah near the Eastern Express Highway and provide information on how much sludge has been removed and how the rest of the work will be completed on time. He also checked on the nullah cleaning work at Subhash Nagar, Mankhurd. Since the nullah submerges in the nearby creek, the garbage flows into the creek during monsoon which causes flooding. Therefore, Jadhav has ordered the installation of protective nets to prevent the garbage from flowing into the creek.
