In a proactive measure against monsoon-induced waterlogging, the Delhi government has established thirteen district-level coordination committees. These newly formed District-Level Coordination Committees (DLCCs) are tasked with effectively managing and mitigating the impact of waterlogging across the city. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the formation of these committees, emphasizing their role in ensuring public safety and maintaining civic services without disruption.
The DLCCs will be responsible for monitoring monsoon preparedness at the district level. They will ensure the implementation of standard operating procedures and foster better coordination among various departments, including those managing roads and drains. Key activities will include inspecting vulnerable locations, coordinating at drain junctions, and overseeing drain desilting operations.
