In a concerted effort to tackle the persistent problem of waterlogging in Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced her government's initiative to identify and address more than 500 water-prone spots across the city.

With the help of newly appointed nodal officers and police collaboration, Gupta emphasized that waterlogging, which previously lingered for hours, is now being addressed effectively and efficiently, thanks to enhanced drainage measures.

She further acknowledged the role of opposition critiques, particularly from the Aam Aadmi Party, in inadvertently assisting her administration by sharing videos that have helped pinpoint problem areas for swift resolution.
