Now, register waterlogging plaints on helpline

Noida: Residents can now report instances of waterlogging and flooding on city streets directly to the local industrial development authority. Though the Noida authority spent crores to take preventive measures while carrying out civil work in June, waterlogging was reported from multiple spots on Tuesday and Wednesday after the downpour. Residents can now call on the monsoon relief line and register their complaints.
The authority issued the number 120-2423795 and officials said complaints will be handled within 24 hours.
While the condition of a large part of Noida-Greater Noida Expressway worsens every monsoon as the level of the carriageway does not end up channelising water to the storm water drains, water collects on the expressway at multiple spots between Sector 132 and Sector 148. However, the condition of the flooding and traffic movement has improved between Sector 126 and Dalit Prerna Sthal.
“Though water had collected near the DND cloverleaf, the level subsided within sometime. Earlier, the stretch remained inundated for several hours,” said deputy general manager of the water works and sewerage department at Noida Authority, RP Singh.
