The outgoing city mayor inspected two canals that drain out water from Jadavpur and Kasba on Thursday. He blamed the waterlogging in these places on blockades in the canals that were made to erect piers of the New Garia-airport Metro corridor.
The blockades are necessary to erect piers for the Metro Railway corridor but they were supposed to be removed before the monsoon, said an official of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation.

The delay in removing the blockades can be blamed on the various government authorities responsible for providing citizen services.
RVNL, the executing agency of the New Garia-Airport Metro, had built the blockades last year to erect the piers. We could begin work only in February, said an RVNL official. “We needed traffic closure in the middle of the Avishikta crossing for the construction work. This permission was granted only in February, otherwise we could have finished the work before the monsoon.”
