DC conducts inspection of rainwater-affected villages

Deputy Commissioner Parth Gupta, along with officials of the Irrigation Department, conducted an inspection of villages affected by rainwater in Yamunanagar district.

According to information, he inspected Panjeto, Urjani, Yakubpur, Khedki, Baroli Mazra, Khannuwala, Chintpur, Sadhaura (town) and other villages affected by excess rainwater of seasonal rivulets.

During the inspection, the villagers told the Deputy Commissioner that the roads and agriculture fields of Panjeto, Urjani, Yakubpur, Khedki, Baroli Majra, Khannuwala and Chintpur villages got flooded during the rainy season. They requested that the cleaning work be done near Khannuwala-Chintpur bridge, so that the rainwater could be drained out easily.

The DC directed the officials to make proper arrangements for drainage of water in the villages.

He said in the absence of drainage, the water should be drained out by installing pumps, so that people did not face any problem.

The residents of Urjani village demanded that a culvert to pass rain water from under the under construction highway be made to save the area from waterlogging.

The Deputy Commissioner inspected the culvert at Khannuwala village and directed the officials on the spot to repair the culvert as soon as possible.

He told the residents of Khedki village that embankments had been built with stones to prevent soil erosion and stop rain/flood water at the village.

He directed the officers to take appropriate measures for the drainage of water.

He also directed the officials of PWD and Panchayati Raj departments to immediately repair the roads damaged by the rain. “The administration is prepared to deal with every situation in the rainy season,” said Parth Gupa. He directed the officials, Panchayat Department, Public Works Department and Revenue Department to work in mutual coordination, so that no one had to face any problem.

On the occasion, SDM Chhachhrauli Rohit Kumar, SDM Bilaspur Jaspal Singh Gill, Executive Engineer of Irrigation Department Vinod Kumar, DIPR Dr Manoj Kumar, BDPO Kartik Chauhan and Naib Tehsildar Anand Rawal.
