The Kolkata Metro Railway authorities are waiting for the green light from the Prime Minister's Office to commission the unfinished stretch of the Howrah Maidan-Sector 5 corridor
Kolkata Metro await PMO nod to open full stretch of Howrah-Sector 5 corridor The Esplanade-Sealdah stretch in the middle of the total 16.6 km corridor of the East-West Metro is left unfinished as the work there was delayed because of soil subsidence following water seepage several times

and from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade - are currently functioning
The second part also links Howrah railway station with Kolkata

Most of the corridor is underground including below the Hooghly river
The Commissioner of Railway Safety recently gave its nod to run trains in the unfinished section
An official said that the operations in the entire Salt Lake Sector V-Howrah Maidan stretch can begin within two months
subject to the clearance from PMO which will take the final call
"Only the PMO can decide on the issue and we are waiting for its approval," he said
Presently some work in the stretch is going on as per guidelines while a 'No Objection Certificate from the fire brigade is awaited before starting operations
We are in close coordination with the Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation and Metro Railway Kolkata authorities," a senior fire brigade official said
KMRC is the implementing agency of the East-West Metro
CRS Sumeet Singhal issued the clearance on April 28 after conducting a thorough inspection of the Esplanade-Sealdah stretch
While work was on in this section below the ground

The first vacuum vessel sector produced in Europe travelled last week between Monfalcone
The 440-tonne component had been protectively wrapped and inserted into oversize metal housing before being loaded onboard at the Port of Monfalcone on 30 September
the load was securely latched by way of welded attachments to ensure its immobility during transport
sensors were attached to the vacuum vessel frame to capture data about any movement or acceleration experienced by the component during travel
Two stages of the journey to ITER remain for vacuum vessel sector #5: crossing the inland sea of Berre l'Étang by barge (a stage that is dependent on good weather and low wind) and travelling along the 104 kilometres of the ITER itinerary over four nights to reach the ITER site (a stage scheduled for the last week of October)
The European Domestic Agency, responsible for delivering five sectors to ITER, celebrated the completion of sector #5 with its contractors on 24 September
ITER ("The Way" in Latin) is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today
ITER is charting new territory in fusion research
Of the nine vacuum vessel sectors that will form the ITER tokamak’s toroidal plasma chamber, four are procured by Korea and five by Europe. Over the past four years

manufactured in Italy—passed the gates of the ITER site
is responsible for the manufacturing process for Korean sectors in the world’s largest shipyard located in Ulsan
the choice was made to distribute the fabrication of the component between different companies mainly located in Italy
but also in Spain and Germany—all operating within the AMW consortium (Ansaldo Nucleare
the manufacturing process and the end product are similar
An ITER vacuum vessel sector is among the most imposing of all machine components
At close to 20 metres tall and weighing approximately 440 tonnes (600 tonnes when you count its cabin-like housing and frame)
it is an exceptionally delicate load to transport
The ITER assembly teams are gearing up to receive a 440-tonne machine component shipped from Italy—sector #5
the first of five vacuum vessel sectors expected from the European Domestic Agency over the next two years
Covid-19 turned Moderna and Pfizer into household names

A man and his parents were arrested for allegedly pushing his wife off the balcony of their four-storey residence in Sector 6, Gurugram, during a scuffle, police said on Wednesday.
The couple, married since 2007, reportedly had frequent disputes over domestic issues, including mutual suspicions of infidelity, police said. (File Photo) The accused were identified as Rohit Kataria, 42; his father, Rajbir Kataria, 67; and his mother, Kanta Devi, 65. Police said Rohit and Rajbir were arrested on Tuesday, while Kanta was taken into custody on Wednesday.
The victim, Ritu Devi, 37, reportedly fell to her death around 10:15 pm on December 30. Inspector Sukhbir, station house officer (SHO) of the Sector 5 police station, said that the couple had been arguing since 5.30pm that day. “During the dispute, she had made a few calls to her brother, asking him to come to her home as she suspected her husband might throw her down. Rohit had also called her brother during this period,” Sukhbir added.
According to police, the incident was reported at 10.47pm by doctors at a private hospital where the family had rushed the woman. She was declared dead on arrival, police said. Her family members, who reached Gurugram later that night, alleged that Rohit and his parents had pushed her off the balcony, leading to her death, they added.
A case of murder was registered at the Sector 5 police station on Tuesday, officers aware of the case said. Rohit was remanded to one day of police custody after being produced before a city court on Wednesday, while Rajbir and Kanta were sent to judicial custody.
The couple, married since 2007, reportedly had frequent disputes over domestic issues, including mutual suspicions of infidelity, police said. Investigators said the deceased’s two children—a 15-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son—witnessed the incident but were in a state of shock and unable to provide statements.

Kolkata Metro’s East-West corridor remained fully suspended for two days starting today (March 8) and March 9
to facilitate testing of the Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) system
an official statement confirmed on Saturday
This marks the third such service suspension in the past month
following earlier shutdowns from February 13-16 and February 20-23
The testing aims to assess the efficiency of the advanced signaling and communication system along the Howrah Maidan-Salt Lake Sector V stretch
While no trains will operate during these two days
partial disruptions are likely to extend beyond the weekend
the first train from Sector 5 will depart at 8:05 am instead of 7:05 am
and the first train from Sealdah will leave at 6:55 am
services between Esplanade and Howrah Maidan will begin at 8 am instead of 7 am

two disconnected sections are operational — Sector 5 to Sealdah and Esplanade to Howrah Maidan
Delays in completing the Esplanade-Sealdah section stem from a series of incidents at Bowbazar
where tunnel boring machines struck an aquifer in September 2019

This unkempt condition of the immersion site has led to growing frustration among residents
“It is disheartening to see that the NMMC has established a Ganesh idol immersion facility in such a poorly maintained area
It is disrespectful to the sentiments of the devotees,” expressed a local resident
“The presence of trash around the facility reflects poorly on the civic body’s efforts
The NMMC needs to address this issue immediately and ensure the area is cleaned up.”

adding “significant immersive technology industry experience,” Glimpse said

and capabilities is paramount,” Bentovim said
“We saw an opportunity to build scale in an industry that doesn’t have scale
I’m not only getting a really good business
but a really good business partner to grow Glimpse together.”
Meisner and Bentovim both said talks about an acquisition started a few years ago
Sector 5 works with companies to enhance their brands with digital content for marketing
The company has an in-house studio developing immersive experiences through VR
the company pivoted with an “aggressive R&D effort” to develop a platform for immersive content experiences through a browser link
Said Meisner: “I firmly believe that this is an opportunity where the whole is much greater than the sum of parts and I’m very excited for continued success within the Glimpse ecosystem
especially as the evolution of metaverse accelerates.”
Jemisin and artist Jamal Campbell’s “Far Sector,” with the help of letterer Deron Bennett
has been a tantalizing blend of space-opera
sci-fi noir and socio-political commentary
Issue #5 offers even more of these stallar elements
but now with some backstory on the character of Jo Mullein and how she became to be the person she is – both as a Green Lantern
“The mysteries of Sojourner “Jo” Mullein’s origins and her recruitment into the Green Lantern Corps are finally revealed
Jo’s attempt to “follow the money” is complicated when she discovers the City Enduring’s form of cryptocurrency is mined by an underclass of artificial lifeforms.”
As “Far Sector” continues, N.K. Jemisin‘s creation of the City Enduring becomes more and more obviously a giant metaphor for our own society
this is what great sci-fi does: it weaves a narrative that offers commentary and/or/ criticism of reality
Issue #5 of this comic adds even more layers to this commentary with Jo’s complex backstory and the discovery of the planet’s own slave labor system
Sojourner’s past may come off as a predictable tale for anyone acquainted with Green Lantern history (no spoilers)
but it’s Jemisin’s approach to that story that makes the sequence so memorable
She’s able to inject originality and relatable tragedy into an origin that has most certainly been done before
with a universe we’ve all seen explored in hundreds of ways
Jo’s revelations regarding The City Enduring’s A.I
offer a look at Jemisin’s critique on classism
injecting her socio-political commentary with some class-commentary as well
this would all mean nothing if the writing itself were dull or clumsy
the pacing and dialogue are all outstanding once again
Jemisin’s ability to use crime noir genre tropes and apply them so seamlessly to this space opera is astonishing
This is a sci-fi comic with scripts that fires on all cylinders from month to month
It’s a rare treat in comics to find an art style that visually fits the writing to the point that no other visual style could possibly work. Jamal Campbell‘s work on “Far Sector” hits that exact point with his gorgeously expressive characters and stunning environments
Issue #5 gives him some work with the sights of Earth living
which allows him to flex his range as an artist
Even the more “mundane” scenery has Campbell’s pristine touch while still holding familiarity with our reality
Character designs are once again unique yet natural
as aliens and A.I.’s are created with recognizable humanoid features that still exude otherworldly qualities
There isn’t much that can be said for Campbell’s art at this point that hasn’t been said already
as it’s so consistently outstanding every issue
the last metro will leave Sealdah for Salt Lake Sector 5 at 7.03 pm (instead of the normal 9.35 pm) while the Sealdah-bound train will leave Sector 5 at 7.05 pm (instead of 9.40 pm on other days)
Kolkata: Services along the East-West corridor of Kolkata Metro will remain fully suspended on March 8 and 9 for testing of the Communication-based Train Control (CBTC) system
The two-day suspension will be the third such suspension in the last one month to check the efficacy of the signalling and communication system along the Howrah Maidan-Salt Lake Sector 5 stretch
The previous two suspensions were from February 13 to 16
"Metro is going to grant another complete traffic block on March 8 (Saturday) and March 9 (Sunday) for testing of CBTC system along the entire East-West Metro corridor (Green Line) from Howrah Maidan to Salt Lake Sector 5," the statement issued by Kolkata Metro Rail said
'traffic block' means suspension of train services
"No service will be available during that period along the East-West corridor only
Services will be partially affected on March 7 evening and March 10 morning as well," it said
on two ends of the Esplanade-Howrah Maidan corridor
the last trains will leave for their respective destinations at 7 pm instead of the normal timing of 9.45 pm
the first metro train will depart Sector 5 at 8.05 am instead of the normal 7.05 am
while the first train from Sealdah will depart at 6.55 am
the first trains will leave for their respective destinations at 8 am instead of the regular 7 am
The CBTC system is being checked after the completion of tunnelling work
before the authorities mull to start operation along the entire stretch by this year
trains run along two disjointed sections from Sector 5 to Sealdah
Due to the cave-in during tunnelling work at Bowbazar along the Esplanade-Sealdah stretch and seepage of underground water in September 2019 as the boring machine hit an aquifer and at least two more similar incidents in subsequent years
services could not commence along the 2.5-km-long Esplanade-Sealdah stretch of the 16.6-km-long East-West corridor

Salt Lake Sector V in Kolkata is a thriving IT hub that has earned a reputation as the “Silicon Valley of the East.” Located in the Bidhannagar area of Kolkata’s metropolitan region
it covers around 430 acres and has become one of the most important technology and business centres in eastern India
The IT hub is known for its mix of global tech companies and local startups
creating a lively environment for technology and innovation
The journey of Salt Lake Sector V began in 1989 with the creation of the Salt Lake Electronics Complex (SALTLEC)
initiated by the West Bengal Electronics Industry Development Corporation (WEBEL)
Originally designed for electronics industries
WEBEL’s role and vision for the area soon made it attractive to IT and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) companies due to its convenient location near Kolkata Airport
the West Bengal government invested further
WEBEL’s initiatives were pivotal in creating a conducive environment for these industries
the formation of the Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA) brought specialised management
helping improve infrastructure and services for businesses and workers alike
Modern Infrastructure and Expanding Business Complexes
the hub hosts a variety of IT parks and business complexes
Well-known buildings like Infinity Benchmark
and Godrej Waterside highlight the area’s growth
These modern office spaces house many multinational companies and homegrown enterprises
establishing an ecosystem that encourages economic growth and technological development
With approximately 14.6 million square feet of top-grade office space and ongoing expansions
Sector V continues to adapt to rising demand for quality business infrastructure
Sector V’s success is largely due to its skilled workforce and strong infrastructure
which supports a range of industries beyond IT
This diversity has made the hub an attractive location for businesses and job seekers
contributing to West Bengal’s economic strength

houses the fusion reactions and acts as a first safety containment barrier
With an interior volume of 1400 cubic metres
it will be formed from nine wedge-shaped steel sectors that measure more than 14 metres in height and weigh 440 tonnes
will have an outer diameter of 19.4 metres
With the subsequent installation of in-vessel components such as the blanket and the divertor
The fabrication of the vacuum vessel sectors is shared between Europe (5 sectors) and Korea (4 sectors)
and associated thermal shielding has already been manufactured and delivered by the Korean Domestic Agency
being supplied by Europe has now been manufactured at the Westinghouse/Mangiarotti facility in Monfalcone
and is undergoing factory acceptance tests prior to being shipped to the construction site
"Years of teamwork in developing the procurement strategy
have come down to this make-or-break moment in the lifecycle of the component," F4E said
"The valuable lessons learnt from sectors delivered by Korea
and the knowledge accumulated from the collaboration between F4E and the AMW consortium (Ansaldo Nucleare
Mangiarotti and Walter Tosto) have fed into this exercise."
The factory acceptance tests consist of hydraulic and dimensional checks
The hydraulic testing of sector No 5 was successfully completed on 16 January
These tests - using nitrogen and helium - examined how the component responds to pressure and vacuum
Their objective is to make sure that there are no leaks in the structure
"Checking these parameters is of paramount importance because the fusion reaction requires an environment which is completely tight," F4E noted
the vacuum vessel is classified as a nuclear component that needs to comply with the strict prerequisites set by the French Nuclear Safety Authority." It said the results were "solid proof that the welding
assembly and manufacturing met the highest standards"
"The successful outcome of these operations results from years of cooperation between F4E
ITER Organisation and AMW," said Joan Caixas
"The results give us a lot of confidence for the next tests and ultimately for the delivery of Europe's first sector."
The dimensional tests - which will require more time given the volume of the component - essentially measure with accuracy the component using sophisticated probes
Once the factory acceptance tests are completed
the component will be transported to the ITER construction site
the component is expected to depart from Mangiarotti later in the year
It will leave on a boat and be shipped to the port of Marseille
and by applying the protocol of a heavy exceptional convoy
ITER is a major international project to build a tokamak fusion device in Cadarache
designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy
The goal of ITER is to operate at 500 MW (for at least 400 seconds continuously) with 50 MW of plasma heating power input
It appears that an additional 300 MWe of electricity input may be required in operation
Thirty-five nations are collaborating to build ITER - the European Union is contributing almost half of the cost of its construction
Russia and the USA) are contributing equally to the rest
Construction began in 2010 and the original 2018 first plasma target date was put back to 2025 by the ITER council in 2016
the ITER Organisation was expected to reveal a revised timeline for the project but instead put back by a year an announcement on an updated timeline
State funding to reimburse Indian River County for planned beach replenishment on the island will be more than double the previously expected amount in the coming fiscal year
so work must get underway as soon as possible
The county is now set to receive $7.7 million instead of the anticipated $3.7 million from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
FDEP has also waived the requirement for local match funding
Beach replenishment can be planned and designed now
but construction work can’t get underway on the island until after Nov
south to the Riomar golf course in Central Beach – will receive $2.6 million
The funding also allocates $1.8 million for Sector 7 beaches
though the planned project for that South Beach area has been scrapped and the funds will likely go unused
Sectors 1 and 2 – running from Sebastian Inlet to Seaview – are also funded by FDEP
though in a separate grant as the Sebastian Inlet District manages those sectors
The funds there also doubled from about $335,000 to $690,000
Wabasso and Indian River Shores and Sector 5 in the City of Vero Beach are deemed to be critically eroded
and any projects pursued along these sections could also qualify for additional Federal Emergency Management Act funding
County engineers say the 2025 deadline for spending the state grant money is ample to design and execute the projects – as long as the county does not run into difficulty obtaining easements from residents
South Beach residents refusing to sign easements for dune replenishment have delayed getting sand on Sector 7 beaches for years
leaving that area vulnerable to millions of dollars of damage from erosion each storm season
Only 67 percent of property owners signed the required easements
with 85 percent the threshold for moving forward with the work
Sector 4 from John’s Island to Tracking Station Beach will need to hit a similar target mark of easement signatures for work to begin on its restoration project
which is anticipated to cost nearly $6 million
The Town of Indian River Shores saw its beaches severely chewed up by last summer’s storms
and Shores Mayor Brian Foley said he looks forward to seeing the town’s shoreline replenished soon
he said Town Manager Jim Harpring has been coordinating closely with county staff
“We’ll do whatever we can to encourage residents not to shoot themselves in the foot
We’ve got a problem and the problem is not isolated to 500 feet of beach here or 500 feet of beach there,” Foley said
“We are encouraged by the recent increase in available funding for a Sector 4 dune project from both the State’s fiscal year 2023-24 budget and additional County funding opportunities,” Harpring added
“Given the County’s previous approval of engineering and permitting for a Sector 4 dune project
we are hopeful that this project will begin at the earliest opportunity after turtle nesting season closes.”

Turn right on the platform depot, and hop onto a yellow moving platform. Ride it over to the stop with the yellow and green lights. There’s an invisible platform below and behind that stop. Drop down and smash the crates for some sardinium.
Back on the yellow moving platform, look below the entrance to level 25 for the start to the blue balloons that will bring you to the scroll. Using a charger to snipe the balloons makes this a little easier. The final balloon will drop the scroll on an invisible platform. Use one of the pink moving platforms to get close and figure out where to jump.
Toward the end of Underground Expressway, after the seventh checkpoint, you’ll find a large block surrounded by a ditch. Running around in the ditch, there’s a tentakook that carries a key to the locked container on top. Open the container for some sardinium.
At the next checkpoint, you’ll find a pair of Squee-Gs running around an invisible arena. Ride one of them to the (invisible) tower in the back right corner. Use your brush to splash some paint around so you can see where the platforms are — they’ll snake around in a U-shape to the left. You’ll find the scroll at the end.
A little past halfway through The Octo Galaxy — after the seventh checkpoint — there’s a launcher that will toss you onto the center of three rails. Hop around a little to avoid the rollers, but come back to the center one when you can. Jump at the very end to grab some sardinium.
You’ll find yourself at a rail that snakes around some white, floating towers a couple checkpoints later. Ride the first rail until you can jump to a second rail on your right. Take that one to the end, take out the twintacle octotrooper and grab the scroll out of the crate.
The sardinium is pretty early in Transfer Junction, just after the first checkpoint. Make your way across the area with the moving platforms until you come to a moving wall. Ink the wall, then ride it to the right. Take out the octotroopers, then turn back to the moving wall. The sardinium is on the back side. Ink the wall from the platform you’re standing on, then jump onto it.
After the next checkpoint, you’ll face a few more octotroopers at the top of a tower. Before you start making your way across the sponges, stand between the two moving blocks and look down the back side of the tower. Hit the sponge below you with ink, then drop onto it. Turn around and grab the scroll.
After the fifth checkpoint in Platform Madhouse, you’ll make your way through an area with moving floor sections that lead to a moving wall. And it’s all protected by a couple of octocommanders. Take them out, then climb over the wall. On the far side, look below you on the left side to find the sardinium.
To get the scroll, you have to wait until the very end of the level. After you’ve shot the spinning targets a lot and ridden the the platform all the way up to the zapfish, keep the platform close. There’s a switch on the very back corner of the zapfish’s platform that will reveal a launchpad on the edge of the moving platform. Take it, then avoid the octostomp’s attack(s). Hit the launchpad on its back to get launched onto the top of a stack of orange crates. The bottom crate has the scroll.
Right after the first checkpoint in Paradise Lanes, you’ll come to an area where you have to take out a twintacle octotrooper on a narrow walkway below you. As soon as you drop down, turn around and look under where you just were to find some sardinium.
The fourth checkpoint will have you jumping back and forth between a couple of octoballer dispensers. There’s a valve that will carry you to the top level where you can move on to the next area. Instead of moving on, jump to the right lane from the top of the spout. The scroll is in the orange crate ahead of you.
Once again, clear out most of the octolings before you worry too much about treasure hunting. Look on the far side of Octoling Workout near the octolings’ spawn platform for a vertical inkfurler — it’s on the left side of the room. There’s an orange crate on top with the sardinium inside.
The scroll is basically right in front of your spawn point. Head toward the center of the room and look for some boxes that form steps. Spray some ink into the pool of enemy ink at the top to reveal the crate with the scroll inside.

Heavy rainfall on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday battered Gurugram
leading to intense waterlogging on several roads
Residents also grappled with water flooding their houses in multiple parts of the city
Heavy waterlogging at Subhash Chowk in Gurugram Sector 47 on Sunday
(Parveen Kumar/HT Photo) According to the district administration
which is classified a “heavy” spell by the India Meteorological Department (IMD)
Gurugram recorded two “very intense” spells of rainfall
clocking 30mm of rain between 9.30am and 10.30am and a further 39mm between 10.30am and 11.30am
Weather experts also shared data from multiple localities in the city
most of which recorded over 100mm of rainfall
IMD officials attributed the torrential rain to a low-pressure zone that formed above Haryana and Delhi from a cyclonic circulation
As the streets got waterlogged and stormwater drains clogged
leading to major traffic congestion across the city
Commuters also had a harrowing time as vehicles broke down on flooded streets
“The rainwater submerged key intersections and service lanes
leaving vehicles stranded and commuters wading through knee-deep water
the authorities closed several inundated underpasses
a resident of Suncity Township in Sector 54
IMD officials issued a warning of heavy rainfall in Gurugram
There is an additional warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall likely to take place at isolated places in Haryana from Monday to Thursday
earlier an alert was issued for heavy to very heavy rainfall in Gurugram
that brings rainfall in a normal condition
It was earlier active towards the Himalayan foothills but shifted southwards and came to the plains due to which we are observing good rainfall activity in the last 24 to 48 hours,” Paul said
the system of moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal have also become active and improved recently
“The rainfall activities in southern Haryana and neighbouring areas of Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) will continue for next three to four days
after which it will likely come down and then pick up again,” Paul said
Gurugram recorded a maximum temperature of 30.7 degrees Celsius (°C) and a minimum of 26.9°C on Sunday
The Air Quality Index (AQI) measured for Gurugram on Sunday was in “satisfactory” category (97)
Gurugram deputy commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said emergency teams were deployed across the city to manage the situation
“We have stationed cranes and police vans at key stretches to assist with vehicle breakdowns
and our teams are working round the clock to pump out water from flooded areas,” he said
Yadav urged residents to avoid potholed roads and venturing out unless necessary
said that they have deployed teams at all key stretches to help commuters
and the condition will improve once the rain stops
all the civic agencies are doing their best,” he added
which have been under MCG’s maintenance for two years
Despite efforts like cleaning stormwater lines and connecting them to the main network
Blocks near Golf Course Extension Road and Rajesh Pilot Marg are particularly affected due to water flowing from surrounding areas
The lack of natural stormwater flow requires frequent crisis management,” said Sudakshina Laha
GMDA Residents Advisory Council Member and General Secretary of RWA Sushant Lok 2 & 3
The situation was equally grim on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway
where commuters faced severe challenges crossing the Narsingpur stretch as both the main carriageway and service lanes were submerged
“I was stuck for nearly two hours on the expressway
I had to push my car through a flooded area,” said Raghav Sharma
a commuter traveling from Delhi to Gurugram
Residents expressed frustration over the city’s drainage system
which they claimed was ill-equipped to handle such downpour
but had to cancel our plan as the roads were completely inaccessible,” said Sunil Verma
member of Tulip Ivory Residents Welfare Association in Sector 70
slammed the builders and the administration for the recurring waterlogging issues
there’s been little improvement,” she said
Many residents took to social media to express their anger and share photos of the flooded roads
“The stormwater drains are choked with garbage and plastic
It’s the same story every year — flooded roads and water seeping into our homes,” said Baljeet Singh Rathee
president of the DLF Qutub Enclave Residents Welfare Association (QERWA)
Many took to social media to share photos and videos of waterlogged roads as well as express their frustration against the administration
said that the water entered several houses in the area as no desilting has been done in the sector despite repeated complaints
“The sector is flooded with water and more than 50 houses suffered damage to their property after water entered their bedrooms and living areas
There is knee-deep water and people cannot move out of the house unless pumps are used to clear the colony
We are fed up with the waterlogging condition in the sector,” he said
At least 20 two-wheeler riders and cyclists suffered injuries after they were unable to spot potholes and several of them lost their balance and fell on Golf Course Extension Road
MCG commissioner Narhari Singh Bangar said that the waterlogging was due to heavy rainfall and not because there were blocked drains or lack of machineries on the stretches
“The entire teams of MCG were deployed on the stretches and pumps were used to remove excessive water
The manholes were opened to manage water flow and tractor trolleys were parked on to avoid any mishap but to heavy waterlogging
We took round of the city to check if there was any major issue due to any negligence on any official part or contractor but the teams were managing waterlogging standing knee deep in water for the last 12 hour,” he said
“Gurugram witnessed heavy rainfall and waterlogging was reported at Medanta road
In response to the heavy rainfall that caused significant waterlogging in Gurugram over the weekend
the district administration has remained on high alert
deputy commissioner (DC) Nishant Kumar Yadav personally inspected critical areas across the city to ensure public safety and oversee the ongoing drainage operations
Officials from MCG and Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) accompanied the DC during the inspection
Old Delhi Road at Comrade Babru Bhan Yadav Marg
Yadav stated that the district administration had already prepared for such an eventuality by identifying 112 critical points prone to waterlogging in the city
14 HCS-level officers were assigned responsibility
with each officer overseeing seven to eight locations
all underpasses remained operational on Sunday
and no significant water accumulation occurred on the main carriageway of NH-48,” he said.
