Khanpur MLA Pranav Singh ‘Champion’, joint magistrate Namami Bansal along with National Institute of Hydrology (NIH) director JV Tyagi and other experts inspected the Golbhatta area to work out a solution to the waterlogging problem being experienced in the area.
Golbhatta area in Roorkee has been experiencing waterlogging for some years now due to non-drainage. About a week ago the Khanpur MLA had inspected the problem in the area along with the joint magistrate and officials of Narsan block. Bansal had talked to the NIH to discuss the matter.
The MLA said that the DPR for the required work costing Rs 135 crore was prepared in 2016 to solve the problem. However, the state government at that time had not passed the budget. Now the DPR has been handed over to the NIH and it is hoped that work will start soon, he said.
