Mohali authorities will lay a new drainage pipeline in Phase‑1 to alleviate recurring waterlogging, aiming for faster runoff during rains.
The Mohali Municipal Corporation announced plans to install a new underground pipeline in Phase‑1 to address persistent waterlogging that has troubled residents during monsoon showers. The infrastructure project is designed to improve storm‑water drainage, allowing rainwater to flow more quickly into the city's main sewer network.
Officials said the pipeline will be laid along the existing drainage routes, replacing outdated sections that have proven inadequate during heavy rainfall. Construction is slated to begin within the next few weeks, with completion targeted before the upcoming peak monsoon season.
The initiative follows several complaints from local citizens about flooded streets and disrupted traffic in the area. By enhancing the drainage capacity, authorities hope to reduce inconvenience and protect property from water damage.
The municipal body will monitor the project's progress and coordinate with utility contractors to ensure minimal disruption to daily life during the works.
