Kirari Waterlogging: Delhi Govt Blames Past Negligence, Promises 2026 Completion

• Delhi government's 'Claims vs. Reality' report blames 11 years of previous AAP government for Kirari's severe waterlogging.
• Only 43 lakh rupees were spent on sewerage maintenance in Kirari over the past 11 years, deemed negligible for the area.
• A sewer project approved in December 2020, meant for completion by December 2024, was stalled due to administrative failures.
• Audit revealed Kirari generates 36 MGD sewage, but only a 15 MGD treatment plant is operational, showing poor planning.
• Current government claims sewer laying work is now 84% complete (340 km) and aims for full completion by June 2026, with new flood control projects underway.
