With the monsoon season imminent, Mohali is at risk of severe waterlogging due to incomplete pre-monsoon cleaning operations.
As the monsoon season approaches, the city of Mohali faces a significant threat of waterlogging. Pre-monsoon cleaning and desilting operations, crucial for managing rainwater, remain incomplete across various parts of the city.
The ongoing delay in essential maintenance work raises concerns among residents about potential disruptions and damage once the heavy rains begin. The incomplete cleanup suggests that drainage systems may not be adequately prepared to handle the expected rainfall.
Authorities have yet to provide a clear timeline for the completion of these vital tasks, leaving the city vulnerable to the annual challenges posed by the monsoon season.
