In a major step taken to develop adequate sewage treatment infrastructure in Patna to keep Ganga clean, projects worth one thousand 50 crore rupees have been awarded under Namami Gange programme. <br/><br/>The amount will be spent for setting up two Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs), renovation of one existing STP , construction of two pumping stations and laying of new underground sewage network of about 400 kilometers.<br/><br/>These projects not only aim to treat the current sewage generation in respective zones of Patna but also take into account the sewage estimates of next one decade. After time-bound commissioning of these projects, no untreated water will go into the Ganga saving the holy waters of the river from contamination. <br/><br/>The progress of the construction will be monitored by National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) so that deadlines are met.
