All clear on G20 routes despite rain, says PWD

Meanwhile, L-G VK Saxena, who had been watching the arrival of dignitaries at Rajpath on TV, ensured that during the 90-second interval between arrivals of each dignitary, the floor was mopped and dried, said officials.

Officials also added that all fountains installed in the PWD area were fully functional and street lights and decorative lights were in working condition.

“After the Summit on Sunday, PM Modi took the Bhairon Marg route to take a look at the stretch and fountain. We are very happy he liked the work,” said a PWD official.

Meanwhile, the NDMC said it received 70 complaints — 26 last night and 44 on Sunday. Issues encompassed minor waterlogging, fallen tree branches, and malfunctioning road lights. Nineteen instances of waterlogging were received from crucial locations including Janpath, Sikandra Road, C Hexagon, Copernicus Marg, Barakhamba Road, Harish Chander Mathur Lane, and Kautilya Marg. “Approximately 500 additional staff had to be appointed last night to deal with the rain. All issues were resolved quickly,” according to the NDMC.
