As Delhi awaits monsoon, authorities make elaborate plans to tackle waterlogging woes

As Delhi gets ready to welcome the monsoon in a few days, authorities have made elaborate plans to allay fears of waterlogging in the newly opened Pragati Maidan tunnel like constructing underground sumps and installing an automatic pumping system to collect and swiftly drain stormwater during heavy rains.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on June 19 inaugurated the city's first 1.3-km long tunnel and five underpasses as part of the Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor Project that aims to ease connectivity.
