At Yelahankha,rajakaluves will have to be widened to at least 30 ft
The extensive flooding in many parts of Yelahanka and Byatarayanapura assembly constituencies has been attributed to unprecedented rain that lashed in a couple of hours and the narrow stormwater drain network.
Undertaking an inspection of rain-affected Kendriya Vihar, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), and the Manyata Tech Park on Tuesday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said he had directed officials to draft a master plan to widen rajakaluves and build diversion canals to address the problem of flooding..
The heavy rains had resulted in many lakes in Yelahanka overflowing. “The existing rajakaluves are narrow with a varying width of just 8-10 feet. This is not sufficient to carry the huge volume of discharge,” he said.
