The responsibilities have been allotted to senior officers while an officer equivalent to the post of executive officer will be appointed to keep watch on the complete work.
The length of Nag river, Pili river and Pohra river passing through the city is 48 km. NMC will take care of Nag river and Pohra river while Nagpur Improvement Trust will look after the Pili river.
