Ludhiana, August 17

For resolving the chronic waterlogging problem on Damoria Bridge, MC SDO Anshul Garcha has been honoured at the district-level event held at Guru Nanak Stadium to mark Independence Day.

His name was recommended by MC president Pardeep Kumar Sabharwal.

Major waterlogging was being witnessed on Damoria Bridge during rainy season, due to which a large number of residents suffered. During the lockdown last year, Garcha had started handling the task to get the issue resolved. No waterlogging was witnessed at the bridge site even when heavy rainfall lashed the city during the ongoing rainy season, as per civic body officials.

Garcha said: “It was a challenging task for me to resolve the problem of waterlogging on Damoria Bridge in about three months. The 1-km-long drain was cleaned by using different methods. A huge amount of silt was removed from it. Trolleys had made about 2,300 rounds to shift the removed waste and slid from the drain.”
