Delhi Government Approves Rs 1629 Crore Projects To Upgrade Sewer Infrastructure

The Delhi government has officially approved 10 major infrastructure projects worth Rs 1,629.76 crore for the Delhi Jal Board to tackle persistent sanitation issues across the capital. <b>Over 1,000 kilometres of new sewer lines</b> will be installed under this initiative to connect multiple neglected villages and residential colonies to the main drainage network. Additionally, new pumping stations will be constructed in Rajpur Khurd and Maidan Garhi to ensure wastewater reaches treatment plants efficiently, which authorities expect will significantly reduce pollution levels in the Yamuna River while improving public hygiene standards.
