Vadodara: The stretch of Rajesh Tower Road toward Harinagar in Vadodara city may no longer resemble a swimming pool during monsoon. A city-based NGO is planning to set up 100 percolating wells including the first one on the Rajesh Tower Road.
The Rajesh Tower Road gets waterlogged even after short spells of rain. Also, it takes a long time for water to drain off. Despite several efforts, the issue has remained unresolved so far.
Bhavesh Lodaya from Pagdand said that in 2019 the NGO had made six percolating wells with funding from corporate houses and also from own funds. He added that this year, it will make the first well using its own funds. Percolating wells costs between Rs 2.5lakh to Rs 3.25lakh.
