Work stared today and Noida Authority's top officials carried out an inspection to see work was being conducted properly.
Noida Authority has finally started cleaning the 20 drains across the city today. Amit Mohan Prasad, CEO, and Saumaya Srivastava, deputy CEO, along with officials of the health department conducted an inspection to oversee the process.
The officials inspected the drains of Harola, Nithari, Sector 62, the irrigation drain and 16 others in Noida, where cleaning work has started.
Residents had complained to the deputy magistrate and top officials of Noida Authority that these choked drains were the reason vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria were spreading.
Srivastava told City Spidey that inspection of work would be carried out in the city every 20 days. “Cleaning of the remaining drains will also start soon. Our aim is to complete the work before the monsoons arrive.”
The principal secretary of Infrastructure & Industrial Development Department of the Uttar Pradesh government and chairman of Noida Authority Alok Sinha had also directed Authority officials to clean the drains in a meeting held a month ago.
