Three new sewage treatment plants (STPs) will be built in Naini, Jhunsi and Phaphamau. These plants are expected to treat sewage water with state -of -the -art technology in extended areas of the city. The rural unit of Jal Nigam has started survey in extended areas of the city to determine optimal places and capacity requirements for these new STPs.
These new plants will have the ability to treat three times more sewage more sewage than existing plants, leading to a significant increase in the amount of pure water released in the holy Ganges and Yamuna rivers. Currently, the plants operating in the city have managed to reduce the level of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) by 30 mg per liter. However, the new plants will treat sewage water to achieve more strict BOD levels of 10 mg per liter, according to the recent instructions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). This improvement is expected to play an important role in the ongoing efforts to restore the purity of the Ganges.
Project Manager of Jal Nigam Surendra Parmar said that one STP was started in Naini, Jhunsi and Phaphamau before Mahakumbh. Naini currently operates three such plants, and by joining the new plant, their number will be four, while Jhansi and Phaphamau will have two plants each. The proposed new plants will treat sewage water in the newly developed areas of the city. Surveys are focusing on assessing the capacity required for each plant, keeping in mind the future population growth in the future to ensure long -term stability.
In a developments to animal welfare, the district administration has obtained government approval for the construction of three major permanent cowsheds, each of which can be kept in 20,000 cows. Currently, there are 32 cowsheds in the district, which has a total of 23,000 animal living arrangements. However, many gaushalas are overcrowded than their prescribed capacity, due to which complaints are coming again and again.
To deal with this problem, new permanent cowsheds will be built on an acre land, which will be acquired primarily from Gram Panchayats. These cowsheds will have proper sheds, water supply and fodder. The special thing is that a certain part of the land will be reserved for fodder cultivation. Since the lack of fodder has been a frequent problem in existing cowsheds, the purpose of the new strategy is to grow enough green fodder there, and it can be distributed with other cowsheds needed.
