Greenlit with theoretical approval, the Rs 21,000 crore Urban Flood Mitigation Plan promises robust upgrades. Expect strengthened drainage networks, thorough desilting of big sewers, new stormwater pathways, and live flood tracking tech. CM Gupta, eyeing the impending monsoon, demanded swift rollout to avert waterlogging woes.

Power sector deliberations addressed potential shortages fueled by international conflicts. Emphasis fell on balanced consumption, renewable push, vigilant anti-hoarding measures, and priority supply to vital facilities.
