The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Storm Water Drain department has claimed that it will soon complete the work of augmentation and reconstruction of the existing drain network in Dadar, to double its capacity during the monsoon.

The capacity of these drains was hardly 25 mm per hour, and it is now being hauled to 50 mm. BMC officials say this will further help reduce the waterlogging problems in areas such as Parsi Colony, part of Wadala Depot and Naigaon in Dadar besides Dadar TT.
