Draining Master Plan in Delhi will get rid of the weakening, states benefit from the end of Indus Treaty: Manohar Lal

New -Delhi, September 19 (IANS). The Minister of Urban Development, Manohar Lal, launched Delhi’s drainage master plan on Friday. He said that Delhi would receive permanent liberation from the problem of weakening with this master plan of Rs 57,000. The plan is divided into three drainage trays of Najafgarh, Barapullah and Trans-Yamuna, where the network will be redesigned by consultants. “The scheme will meet the current and future needs. The central government will help the government of Delhi implement it,” he said. He talked about the obstacles of the river, saying that there are most obstacles from Ito Barrage to Okhla Barrage. He revealed, “The Haryana government did not know that the ITO fire was with him. It was revealed when four gates were not opened last year, and it was now handed over to the Delhi government.” This step will be helpful in preventing the flow of Yamuna water. He mentions the recent incident, “A call from the PMO was that two feet of water was flooded on Lodhi road. Later it was revealed that Yamuna water returned.” He talked about beauty and waste management and named three landfills, Bhalwa and Okhla. He said: “I take my hand for the Bhalwa landfill. The previous government did not use 1100 Crore funds from the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. There is no place to insert the processed land into Bhalwa, increasing the problem.” Manohar Lal, who recently inspected Bhalaswa landfill, also planted trees under the Swachhata Hi Seva Abhiyan. To remove Delhi’s water shortage, he said that three large dams were built in Haryana. “There is a proposal to build a dam near Hathini Kund, which will overcome the lack of water shortage of two to three months.” The project is worth Rs 6,134 crore, which will control the flood of Yamuna and benefit Delhi. With reference to the abolition of the Indus water treaty after ‘Operation Sindoor’, Manohar Lal said: ‘It will now start to get a lot of water to the states.’ -Ians Sch Share This Story Tags
