Delhi: Govt sets deadline for drain desilting

Ahead of the onset of monsoon season in the capital, the secretary of the Public Works Department (PWD) has sought details of all drains that have been desilted and cleaned so far. "Every official has to submit desilting plans for drains in their areas by June 15. If there is some delay due to any reason, the report should be submitted by June 30. No extension will be given. I will visit the areas and if anyone is found furnishing wrong data, they will be held accountable," PWD secretary Ashwani Kumar said.
