He said no officer can escape by making an excuse of transfer. Whichever new officer comes in place of the previous officer, he will also have to take responsibility in writing of the respective waterlogging point. He said the mobile number of the concerned officer must be shared in the public domain so that if needed, the citizens of the concerned area can contact him directly.

Consent of RWA and councillors must be taken for cleaning of drains
