Ahead of the monsoon, the PWD has set a target to complete the de-silting works by June 15, 2018. Delhiites have, increasingly, been forced to face waterlogging problems, every monsoon. There are around 165 major drains in the city. Last year, the de-silting of drains had caused a tussle between the government and bureaucracy, with chief minister Arvind Kejriwal seeking action against the then PWD secretary Ashwani Kumar, for not obeying his order over de-silting of drains.
