GMDA seeks nod for culvert on NH-48 to fix Narsinghpur waterlogging
GMDA proposed constructing a culvert on NH-48 at Narsinghpur to address recurring waterlogging during monsoon. The proposal followed on-site inspections by GMDA CEO PC Meena with NHAI and discussions with NHAI leadership, with a planned meeting at Dwarka HQ on April 22, 2026. Officials also pushed for faster drain works and desilting ahead of the monsoon, while noting a prior NHAI rejection of the culvert idea.
Why It Matters
Waterlogging on NH-48 disrupts traffic and flood management in Gurugram; a culvert could improve drainage and reduce flooding during the monsoon season.
