Says 51 Open Drains Empty 1,067 MLD industrial Discharge, Sewage Into River

Drive to identify gaps, ensure compliance as city grapples with waste management

In an exciting development for Patna, the Namami Gange initiative has unveiled two cutting-edge sewerage pumping stations to tackle the persistent issue of waterlogging in the city. These advanced facilities will efficiently channel sewage from overburdened drains straight to the Digha Sewage Treatment Plant, alleviating the strain on local drainage infrastructures in neighborhoods such as Rajiv Nagar and Boring Road.

Patna's new "Navin Kishore Sinha Path," a two-lane smart road built over Mandiri Nala, is set to open Monday. This Rs115 crore project connects key city areas, easing traffic and improving drainage. Inaugurated on former MLA Navin Kishore Prasad Sinha's birth anniversary, it links Nehru Path to Bansghat and the JP Ganga Path, promising smoother commutes and enhanced urban infrastructure.

Ranchi's Badgai sewage treatment plant operates at a fraction of its capacity, with local farmers benefiting from reused sludge. Despite ongoing household connections for the sewerage project, illegal drain hookups to manholes are causing overflows and waterlogging, prompting the Municipal Corporation to warn of legal action.
