Following nearly four hours of continuous heavy rains on Wednesday, Noida Authority machinery swung into action from early in the morning. Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) Saumya Srivastava scanned the entire city and conducted spot inspections and sounded an alert to all ground staff to remain available 24x7 and to deal with any emergencies due to the heavy rains. With a road cave-in for a second time in Harola, sector 4, after the heavy showers, he ordered an inquiry into the incident directing the Chief Engineer to penalize those responsible for the mishap.
