The operation was carried out to solve the flood problems caused by narrowed evacuation that prevented water flow during heavy rainfall.
On June 1, a destruction driving at the Madrasi Camp in the South East Delhi, Jangpura was carried out by the authorities to clear the rape in the region during the Barapulla drainage on the orders of the Supreme Court of Delhi.
