New Delhi, July 18 || The Drain Road near Dabri roundabout in west Delhi is the city's most notorious spot that reports the maximum number of about 11 road accidents annually due to waterlogging between July and September, according to Delhi Traffic Police data on Friday.
Apart from this roundabout, there are about 193 accident-prone waterlogging hotspots in the city that recorded nearly 400 incidents last year. Water-logging emerged as a key contributory factor in almost all the incidents recorded at these points during monsoon, said an official.
To reduce waterlogging-related accidents in the current season, the traffic police shared a list of 194 hotspots with civic agencies during pre-monsoon deliberations with a request for corrective infrastructural changes to ensure smooth flow of rainwater at these points, said a senior official.
The traffic police report was marked to Delhi Jal Board, Public Works Department, Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Delhi Development Authority (DDA), flagging the risks at these spots due to waterlogging, he said.
