Accordingly, the desilting (removal of silt and sludge) of catch pits on Santoshnagar Main Road opposite IS Sadan is being carried out in active coordination with the GHMC and the Monsoon Emergency Team. The initiative has been taken on high priority to address monsoon-related traffic issues and facilitate uninterrupted commuter movement.
Why the Santoshnagar Desilting Drive Was Initiated
Officials stated that the accumulation of soil, silt and debris in the catch pits had been obstructing the free flow of rainwater into drains.

To eliminate these issues during the monsoon season and ensure smooth movement of traffic, desilting works have been taken up on a priority basis.
