CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan aims to make Delhi waterlogging-free. CM sets a June 30 deadline for drain cleaning and adopts the Minto Road model citywide.
To save the national capital from its annual struggle with flooded roads and traffic snarls, the Delhi government has shifted into high gear. On Friday, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta chaired a high-level meeting at the Delhi Secretariat to review desilting and drainage preparations. CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan for this monsoon focuses on proactive measures, ensuring that the city’s drainage infrastructure is ready before the first rains hit.
Strict Deadline for Drain Desilting
During the meeting, which was attended by Chief Secretary Rajiv Verma and top officials from PWD, MCD, DMRC, and DDA, the Chief Minister issued a stern ultimatum. According to CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan, the desilting of all major and minor drains across Delhi must be completed by June 30. The CM warned officials that any negligence leading to waterlogging would result in strict disciplinary action, as public convenience is the government’s top priority.
Adoption of the ‘Minto Road Model’
A key highlight of the strategy is the replication of the successful Minto Road drainage model in other vulnerable parts of the city. Under CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan, hotspots like ITO, Zakhira underpass, Loni Road, and Jahangirpuri will receive specialized attention. The government aims to replace temporary pump-based solutions with permanent drainage upgrades to ensure smooth water flow during heavy downpours.

Strategic Deployment of Resources
The Chief Minister has directed departments to identify all chronic waterlogging spots and pre-deploy machinery, staff, and essential equipment. CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan emphasizes a “preventative rather than reactive” approach. By keeping resources ready at sensitive locations, the government intends to prevent the repeat of last year’s scenes where commuters were stranded in waist-deep water for hours.
Modernizing the Drainage Network
Beyond immediate cleaning, the government is looking at long-term solutions. CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan includes strengthening the old drainage system and laying new pipelines where necessary. This holistic approach aims to reduce the city’s dependence on portable pumps and create a sustainable network capable of handling high-intensity rainfall.
As the June 30 deadline approaches, all eyes will be on the execution of CM Rekha Gupta’s Master Plan. If implemented successfully on the ground, Delhi residents can finally look forward to a monsoon season free from the usual chaos of flooded streets and endless traffic jams.
