Keep in the budget them) ) less likely to use crore

Crore was made for laying storm water line, but due to Corona or economic reasons, work was not done in this direction. Municipal Corporation’s 2021-90 close to storm water line in the budget 30 Crores of rupees have been provisioned, but even half of this amount is likely to be utilized, it is less likely.
3 Reasons This year the problems increased
– Earlier, rain water used to flow out through the rivers and drains in large quantities from the roads in the drainage chamber. The city’s drainage and sewerage lines 100% have been used since the taping of the drain.
– Drainage line of the city is not in a condition to bear the pressure especially of rain water. This is the reason that if the rain water gets into the drainage line, they overflow and the silt of the chambers-lines starts flowing on the roads.
– During the taping of the drain, the corporation officials It was claimed that now the rain water of the city will flow directly into the rivers, but this claim has failed. The situation is getting worse.
