Gates, big drains planned along Yamuna to stem flooding during rain: Delhi will soon see 12 gates near the Yamuna and big drains to prevent flooding on roads during the monsoon. The Public Works Department (PWD) is doing this to prevent backwater flow from Irrigation and Flood Control (I & FC) drains to PWD drains and ultimately roads, this monsoon. In 2023, the Ring Road stretch from Vikas Marg from Indraprastha Bridge till the ITO intersection and stretch towards Kashmere Gate was flooded even after the rains stopped. The flooding happened after a regulator installed at the drain number 12 near IP Metro station broke, following which water from the Yamuna came onto the main roads.
