Mayor Madhusudan Yadav visited Ward No. 23 on Friday to assess the status of essential civic services, including water supply, sanitation and ongoing development works.
Accompanied by Ward Councillor and Revenue Department In-charge Raja Makhija, the Mayor undertook a foot inspection across Lalbagh, Mahendra Nagar and Prabhat Nagar, where he interacted with local residents and reviewed civic infrastructure.
Focus on Quality Construction and Drainage Development
During the inspection, the Mayor reviewed ongoing construction works in Lalbagh and directed officials to ensure that projects are completed with high quality standards and within the stipulated timeline so that residents receive maximum benefit.
Responding to demands for drain construction in Lane No. 8, behind Widnier School, and in Mahendra Nagar, he said the works would be taken up on priority from the funds sanctioned by the government for ward-level development.
He also instructed the concerned engineering officials to continuously monitor the execution of construction projects.
Directions to Improve Sanitation and Address Waterlogging
Residents of Mahendra Nagar and Prabhat Nagar raised concerns over waterlogging during heavy rains and inadequate sanitation due to a shortage of sanitation workers.
The Mayor directed the Health Officer to ensure that the existing sanitation staff carry out daily cleaning within the prescribed schedule and that additional cleaning teams are deployed every week wherever necessary.
To address waterlogging, he instructed officials to improve the gradient of drains to ensure smooth water flow and directed the repair of leaking water pipelines.
The Mayor informed residents that a proposal has already been submitted to the government for the construction of a major drainage channel to facilitate proper water discharge in flood-prone areas.
