Later speaking to reporters, CM Gupta spoke on the efforts of the Delhi government to tackle the issue of drainage situations and the subsequent problems like water-logging.

"Delhi was settled in an unplanned manner and there is no chamber in the drain, there is no proper outlet of the drain. All these things cannot be done just by sitting in air-conditioned rooms and by holding press conferences. We have been working as a team since morning to check the outlets of the drains to ensure that the people of Delhi do not have to face problems like waterlogging. Our aim is the welfare of the people."
