Trial run of sewage interceptor sewage project to start on Friday

NEW DELHI: The contentious interceptor sewage project, conceptualized by Delhi Jal Board as the answer to the Yamuna's pollution problem, is finally set to be rolled out. The trial run for the first phase of the project, involving interception of 9 million gallons per day of sewage in the Palam drain as it flows into the Najafgarh drain, will begin on Friday and will be commissioned within the next two weeks.

The project involves laying of parallel channels along the three major drains of Delhi—Najafgarh, Supplementary and Shahdara drains. These will intercept sewage from the several smaller drains that flow into these three drains, carrying it to the nearest sewage treatment plant and discharging the treated effluent back into the main drains before they meet the Yamuna.

Sewage flowing on Ayodhya Nagar road

Nagpur: People staying in Dattatray Nagar, a part of Ayodhya Nagar in South Nagpur, are fearing outbreak of vector-borne diseases in their area. The area is grappling with mosquito menace and hygiene issues due to overflowing sewage for the last 4-5 days, highlighting negligence of Nagpur Municipal Corporation in ensuring quality work from private contractors.

A resident of Ayodhya Nagar, New Subedar road Vijay Bhaturkar told TOI that they are mainly worried about the students of NMC Dattatray Nagar School in the locality. "NMC laid new sewage line in our locality. However, instead of flowing underground, the sewage started overflowing on the road from chambers. The overflow starts in the morning, submerging the road. This is happening for the last four-five days and nobody from NMC is paying attention," he said.
