Directions to expedite work on Dharampura nullah issued
Making monsoon preparations in advance, Ludhiana Central MLA Ashok Prashar Pappi, Senior Deputy Mayor Rakesh Prashar and Municipal Corporation (MC) Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal inspected the ongoing project to cover Dharampura nullah on Thursday.
Under the project, which was designed by experts from IIT-Roorkee, 250 meter of the nullah stretch (from the Shingar Cinema road to the Gaughat cremation ground) will be covered. Retaining walls and a concrete base of the nullah would also be constructed, which is being taken up at a cost of around Rs 9.50 crore.
Further the officials concerned have also been directed to expedite the work of establishing a flood gate at ‘Buddha Dariya’ point to avoid water logging in Dhokka Mohalla, Dharampura and the adjoining areas during monsoon.
