All PWD canals were desilted: Satyendra Jain

New Delhi, May 3: The Delhi Public Works Department (PDWA) minister Satyendra Jain today ordered to complete all PWD canals on June 7. Jain directed after a brilliant inspection of roads and canals in Mandoli Jail Road and Mandoli village. He told the media that 1,000 pumps would be installed at different locations across the national capital for pumping out water from the roads if there is water-logging. "The main reason for water logging during the monsoon is that the drains are not desilted ahead of the rains. I will personally keep a watch," the minister said.
According to Jain, a coordination committee has been set up to ensure that all the organisations, including the PWD and municipal corporations, work together to clean the drains and there is no blame game over the issue. Later Guru Tegh Bahadur visited the hospital and retained the situation. The Delhi government is fully prepared to prevent the diseases of Jain and vector diseases, including the Department of Health. 
He said that last year, around 300 additional beds were added to the city hospitals specifically for people suffering from dengue and chikungunya and, if needed, the number would be further increased this year. "I have also directed all the hospitals, including private ones, to add 10 to 20 per cent additional beds, if required." Jain said the state government had collaborated with state municipal corporations to prevent mosquito breeding in the city.
