Under the Rs 82 crore project, a 22 MLD Sewerage Treatment Plant is being established behind the Ayurvedic Dhanvantari College.

The project also includes a sewage pumping station, a 920-metre-long 600 mm diameter DI rising main and a 2-km sewage treatment pipeline.

Reviewing the proposed drawings and designs, the commissioner instructed the agency to expedite excavation work after obtaining the necessary approvals.

The project also envisages the construction of a 22 MLD pumping station opposite Mangalnath Temple and a 2.38 MLD Wastewater Treatment Plant at Bhairavgarh Nala.

In addition, a 500-metre-long 200 mm diameter DI pumping main and a 1.5-km-long 200 mm diameter wastewater treatment pipeline will be laid.

The project aims to intercept and treat polluted water flowing through Piliya Khal and Bhairavgarh Nala before discharging the treated water into the Kshipra river, thereby helping improve the river's water quality.
