Ayodhya | In a prompt and coordinated response to heavy rainfall and subsequent waterlogging, the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation has undertaken rapid drainage operations across flood-affected areas of the city. Mayor Mahant Girishpati Tripathi and Municipal Commissioner Jayendra Kumar personally inspected waterlogged zones and directed the immediate deployment of water pumps.
By Monday evening, most areas had seen significant relief, with water levels receding, thanks to the effective drainage measures.
33 Pumps Deployed Across 22 Wards
According to Municipal PRO Mukesh Kumar Pandey, the Mayor had alerted municipal teams on Sunday itself when heavy rains began, ensuring early mobilisation. He visited Jalwanpura and other vulnerable areas, while the Municipal Commissioner assessed conditions in Janaura and Gaddopur.
Subsequently, Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr. Nagendra Nath and Senior Municipal Health Officer Dr. R.M. Shukla conducted field visits and oversaw the installation of 33 pumps across 25 sites in 22 municipal wards. Key locations included:
- Four pumps in Jalwanpura
- Two each in Chaudhary Charan Singh Ghat, Janaura, Janaura Talab, Lal Diggi, and Saryu Nagar Colony
These high-capacity pumps were crucial in draining floodwaters and restoring normalcy.
Safety Measures at Electric Panels and Poles
In Saptasagar, where damaged electric wires posed an electrocution risk, the issue was promptly flagged to the electricity department. Furthermore, inspection and taping of poles and panels near Janaki Mahal and Jain Mandir Road were completed to ensure public safety.
The municipal authorities affirmed that these actions reflect their commitment to safeguarding citizens and maintaining civic infrastructure amid challenging weather conditions.
