Kumar said, “I had given instructions to the road department and sought a detailed survey of JM and FC roads. Administration will check the stormwater drainage system and any blockages. The survey will cover the reasons for waterlogging and suggest solutions.”

Meanwhile, the road department officials have denied smart roads as the cause for waterlogging. They said trash and waste could have blocked drainage lines.
