The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has claimed that the Dr Anandrao Nair Road which is opposite Nair hospital will be totally free of floods from next year onwards. Civic officials said construction work of the box drain is currently 45 per cent complete and this year, rainwater will drain rapidly as compared to previous years. A few years ago, the BMC had identified six chronic flooding spots along roads that are important for connectivity across the city. The BMC has resolved the issue at four of these locations.
More importantly, the water holding tank work at Parel and Dadar has been completed, which will help drain rainwater in the Hindmata and Parel areas. The Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road serves as a very important link between the eastern suburbs and the city. “This monsoon, traffic flow on the road will not be affected due to waterlogging. This will also ease the movement of patients visiting KEM, Wadia and Tata Memorial hospitals located around Parel,” said a BMC official.
