Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor, Vinai Kumar Saxena on Wednesday visited the Bhatti Mines reserved forest area in South Delhi. He directed the officials to link the pits by neighbouring areas that persistently faced the problem of overflowing and waterlogging. He inspected two sites in the reserved forest area along with officials. He observed that the large bowl shaped pits with depths reaching up to 80 feet, had a huge capacity to hold water which was not being utilized.
Regarding the low water level in the pits which is not even reaching four feet, he directed officials to recharge water in the area by linking it to neighbouring areas facing waterlogging and to create channels leading up to pits.
