Bhubaneswar mayor Sulochana Das tells TOI about BMC’s response to residents’ complaints.
On dealing with waterlogging in Patia?
The area is vulnerable to waterlogging. We depute officials and pumping machines to clear rainwater. The site has been surveyed and a box-type drain has been laid. Land has been identified to build a retention pond for stormwater.
On defunct streetlights?
Two agencies that have installed streetlights have been asked to do periodic maintenance of the lights on priority basis.
On addressing complaints from residents?
Our teams are addressing each complaint. We will hire an energy auditor improve the streetlight infra.
