Long-term measures needed to prevent Ambala city from being inundated

Before the rainy season set in I had apprised the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation through email to get the drains at different locations such as Inco Chowk, Vivek Vihar, Near OBC Bank and close to the Grain Market cleared so that there was enough space for the water to flow during the rainy season. It was not taken seriously. It happens every year and people make hue and cry and later forget what happened till the next season. The need of the hour is to find long-term effective measures. — GP Kansal, Ambala
