JAMMU, Feb 6: Member Parliament (Rajya Sabha) Shamsher Singh Manhas while chairing a meeting with officials of Urban Environmental Engineering Department (UEED) stressed on construction of nallahs for proper drainage system.
He said many areas of city are facing improper drainage system particularly in rainy season. Under Mission Swachh Bharat Abhiyan started by Prime Minister Narinder Modi, the nallahs running in precarious condition would be constructed soon.
He along with officials of UEED inspected two main nallahs in Ward No 59 near Bawa Sidh Goria Mandir Paloura. This area is highly populated and lacks proper drainage system. In rainy days people of the area face hardships as muddy water enters houses causing damage to their property.

Another nallah starting from Government Dispensary which is passing through thick vicinity would be covered and constructed so that people of area get proper drainage system. The estimated cost for construction of these two nallahs is approximately Rs 2 cr and funds are available with concerned department.
