Haryana suspends senior engineer over ITO barrage fiasco

All the 32 gates of Delhi’s ITO barrage are under the administrative control of the Haryana government.

In a statement on Wednesday, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar also said that “due to non-opening of four gates of the barrage near ITO in Delhi, excess water could not be cleared in time... causing massive water logging and floods”.

During the floods, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said that five of the gates were shut at the Yamuna barrage, causing waterlogging in the busy ITO intersection and nearby areas.
