GMC initiates action towards desiltation of drainage channels DISPUR, Assam: The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) along with Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority and Public Works Department (PWD) has restarted their desiltation operations in the city ahead of the monsoon season. This step aims to clear the drainage channels of mud and silt and ensure the smooth flow of the rainwater. Waterlogging continues to be a massive drawback for the city of Guwahati. Several steps were taken towards the prevention of any reoccurrences. Manual cleaning of small drains and desiltation of major drains and water channels have also been carried out. Several super suckers were procured by the authorities to ensure that the drains are cleaned properly. Although the clearing of waterways was carried out last year as well, no considerable improvement was noticed. This year the authorities have pressed 10 such super suckers into service to clear major drains and natural waterways across the city. Several smaller drains have also been reconstructed. As such, a large section of Guwahatians remain hopeful that the situation will be better this year.
