Having developed an effective contingency plan to remove and discharge water from puddles created on roads, squares and neighbourhoods in Dubai by rain, the department has ensured service facilities for better functioning.

“The Contact Centre of the civic body has received 498 notification calls on incidents during and after the rain. Most of the calls were related to the falling of trees and traffic blocks due to fallen trees and heavy waterlogging,” said Khalid Badri, Director of the centre. Badri urged the public to inform the civic body calling its hotline 800900 in case problems remain in any area of the emirate. —
