Authorities in Mohali have initiated the cleaning of Sukhna Choe, a crucial step to mitigate waterlogging issues expected during the upcoming monsoon season.
The municipal corporation of Mohali has commenced the desilting and cleaning operations for Sukhna Choe. This initiative is aimed at ensuring smoother water flow through the choe (seasonal stream) and preventing the recurrent problem of waterlogging in various parts of the city during heavy rainfall.
The cleaning process is a proactive measure to prepare for the monsoon season, which typically brings substantial rainfall to the region. By clearing debris and accumulated silt, officials hope to enhance the choe's capacity to carry water, thereby reducing the risk of flooding in low-lying areas.
Residents of Mohali often face significant inconvenience and damage due to waterlogging during the monsoon. The timely cleaning of Sukhna Choe is expected to alleviate these concerns and improve urban drainage management.
