Faridabad, May 12 –Dhirendra Khadgata, Commissioner MCF held a crucial meeting today with municipal officials to review city infrastructure, with a strong focus on beautification of parks and preparation for the upcoming monsoon season.

He emphasized that the silt removed from drains must be disposed of at appropriate locations.
