Delhi's Water Minister Satyendar Jain has inaugurated a wastewater treatment plant at the Coronation Pillar site in North Delhi. It is an important step towards cleaning up the Yamuna River.
The plant can treat 31.8 crore liters of wastewater every day, and the minister has also laid the foundation for a 71.5 km long sewage pipeline in Sangam Vihar and Deoli constituency.
Jain revealed that the plant would meet the needs of sewage treatment of wastewater developed in Delhi University Campus, Nehru Vihar, Shakti Nagar, Kamla Nagar and Roop Nagar areas.
In addition, the plant would also treat wastewater coming from unauthorized colonies such as Saroop Nagar, Bhalswa, Sant Nagar and the Wazirabad group.
He told the media that the wastewater currently falling directly into the supplementary drain will be trapped and treated in the new treatment plant through the pumping station in Burari.
The Delhi government told media that the plan is being developed with the latest technology. In addition to providing power generation, the plan also includes effluent parameters and has nitrogen and phosphorus removal, mechanical sludge dewatering, disinfection, making the plant significantly self-sufficient.
The government has also started laying 71.5 km of sewage pipelines in 20 unauthorized colonies of Deoli and Sangam Vihar constituency.
Currently, due to the lack of sewers in the area, the sewage from this area is discharged into local ponds, septic tanks, etc.
The water minister said that in order to reduce this water-polluting content, sewage pipes would be laid to treat wastewater at the nearby wastewater treatment plant, after which it would go directly into the river.
