MC chief, along with MLA North Madan Lal Bagga also inspected the ongoing works, including the work to construct the road on the other side of the nullah and developing green spaces around the nullah.

MLA Bagga directed the concerned officials to expedite the de-silting (cleaning) process of Buddha Nullah. He also directed to officials to strengthen the banks of the nullah, before the monsoon season. The road gullies should be cleaned before monsoon hits the city and sand bags should also be prepared in advance, he added. The sandbags should be used to strengthen the banks of nullah, if required.
