There is still a lot more work to be done to permanently address the issue of floods and potholes in the city of Port Moresby. This was revealed by the City Manager Mr. Ravu Frank  following the recent road and drainage maintenance work that was carried out by the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) to help reduce floods during the rainy weather. Measures taken include clearing encroachments, scaling up cleaning and unblocking drainages, and engaging hydrology engineers for lasting solutions. 26 locations were established for a demolition exercise, making the smooth flow of drain waters. Demolition has already started in some of these areas where residents have encroached on reserves. The City Manager urged the public to be caution while driving in wet conditions, and he also urged residents to refrain from dumping rubbish into drains during this wet season. He emphasized that some flooding incidents are caused by rubbish blocking drainage systems. NCDC is also taking continuous action by installing trash bins at the Central Business Districts and other public places to encourage proper waste disposal
