The AAP Government on Saturday announced that they will upgrade Ghonda Sewer Pumping Station (SPS), to facilitate the people of North East Delhi.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia approved a project worth Rs 16.65 crore for upgradation of Ghonda Sewer Pumping Station and replacement of existing pipelines.
"Under the leadership of CM Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Government is committed to make the national capital one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world, Redevelopment of Delhi’s sewer network a key step in this direction," Sisodia said.
Sisodia said that the existing sewage pipeline in the Ghonda area is approximately 20 years old. Over these 2 decades, the population of the surrounding areas has also increased substantially, leading to an increasing sewage load on these pipelines. “In light of this, it has been decided that along with replacing the existing pipeline here, the sewage pump station will also be upgraded so that there is no problem like sewage overflow in the future and also the local people do not face any kind of trouble,” he said.
The Deputy CM added that building and redeveloping infrastructure for water supply and sewage collection is one of government's most crucial and consequential responsibilities. People pay taxes, and are entitled to right to better quality infrastructure facilities.
