The government had sanctioned 36 sewage treatment infrastructure projects in Uttarakhand to rejuvenate the Ganges River.
According to the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), the central government is working through the Namami Gange project on a mission to ensure that every part of Ganga in the state gets clean water.
The scope of the project includes intercepting large discharges falling into the river and diverting them to sewage treatment plants (WWTPs).
Uttarakhand has 36 sewage infrastructure projects of Rs 1,373 crore that were approved to create 195 million liters per day (MLD) STP capacity and construct a 184 km sewage network.
