As monsoon showers led to waterlogging in different parts of the city, leader of the Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri claimed that the water logging exposed the AAP government, which had claimed that all public works department-owned drains were cleaned before monsoon. In a statement, Bidhuri said that many parts of the capital reported waterlogging after downpour; from Shakar pur Chungi to ITO, there was a massive trafficjam. "It caused a great deal of hardship to the people, but the AAP government is not bothered. I had raised this issue well before the arrival of monsoon. We had also brought this matter to the notice of the lieutenant governor and urged him to order an inquiry into the cleaning of the sewers as all the work had been done on papers, but nothing had moved on ground, Bidhuri alleged. Bidhuri sought a proble into the whole exercise of cleaning of drains, the funds spent on it and who all were involved. Despite repeated attempts TOI could not get a reaction from the AAP Governments. Waterlogging exposed govt claims, says BJP. Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked Delhi government and Delhi Jal Board to consider as representation a plea seeking fresh assessment of water supply stations in the city claiming that contaminated and sewage water was getting mixed with drinking water. A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh told the authorities to decide the representation in accordance with the law applicable to the case. It was hearing a petition filed by a resident Ajau Gautam seeking to conduct a fresh assessment of water supply stations and booster pumps, keeping in mind the present and increasing population and the demand for drinking water. The arrival of the monsoons in Delhi on Tuesday brought a long-awaited respite from the high temperatures but there was the usual demerit too waterlogging at various places in the city that caused the traffic to crawl. A lot of water had accumulated near the AIIMS flyover, Pul Prahaladpur Mundka railway bridge Ring Road.
