BMC Opens Control Room To Tackle Waterlogging

Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday opened a dedicated control room for residents of Odisha capital to lodge complaints regarding waterlogging or chocked sewerage.

According to BMC sources, the residents can lodge their grievances on landline number-0674-2432281. The decision to open the control room was taken after a large number of people residing in low-lying areas complained about water getting accumulated in the streets.

Meanwhile, two buses got stranded in knee-deep rainwater for an hour in front of the ISKCON temple on NH-16 at Nayapalli here. Keeping the situation in view, the authorities concerned blocked the busy road connecting Indradhanu Market Square with CRP Square to ensure smooth flow of vehicles on the stretch.

On the other hand, Cuttack district administration declared closure of all schools in the district on Monday following heavy downpour since last evening.

The regional meteorological centre has forecast another low pressure over the Bay of Bengal on July 19.
