A ₹50 lakh drainage pipeline is slated for installation in Mohali’s Mannat Enclave to address chronic waterlogging.
The municipal authorities of Mohali have approved a drainage project worth ₹50 lakh for Mannat Enclave, a residential area that has long suffered from waterlogging during monsoon rains. The new pipeline will be laid underground to channel excess rainwater away from streets and homes, aiming to prevent the frequent flooding that disrupts daily life.
Construction is expected to begin within the next two weeks, with local contractors hired to complete the work in phases. Officials have indicated that the pipeline will connect to the city’s existing storm‑water network, enhancing overall capacity to manage heavy rainfall.
Residents have welcomed the initiative, citing previous incidents where standing water caused damage to property and inconvenience. The project is part of a broader effort by the Mohali administration to upgrade urban infrastructure and improve resilience against climate‑related challenges.
