The civic authorities have come up with an offbeat solution to preclude overflow of city lakes during the present and future monsoons.
While nala widening works under the Strategic Nala Development Programme (SNDP) are still in various stages of progress at several locations across the city, the Lakes Wing of GHMC is busy deepening the surplus weirs of lakes, and fixing gates to them in order to take control of the outflows and thereby, prevent breaches to bunds.
Officials, on condition of anonymity, shared that orders for the same were issued by GHMC Commissioner D.S. Lokesh Kumar as a measure to prevent unforeseen emergencies.
