As part of a 3 tier process, Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) will utilize an amount of Rs 75.78 Cr to clear the drainage system in and across Guwahati, to solve the monsoon waterlogging problem.
Like previous years, this year too, the amount will be released by State Government.
"We are planning to begin the drain cleanliness process from the first week of March," Sai Mrigen Sarania, GMC Mayor while speaking to G Plus. "We along with GMDA, and Water Department plan to clean as many as 355 drains in the city," he added.
GMC will also constitute a public forum in every ward, who will be responsible for the evaluation of the whole cleanliness programme. The team will monitor the de-siltation and garbage disposal process on a regular basis.
GMC also plans to outsource the drainage process to a third party in the second phase, who will look after the technical developments.
