Chief minister Raghubar Das laid the foundation stone for the much-awaited multi-crore sewerage project at Adityapur in Seraikela-Kharsawan district on Sunday morning. The Chief Minister said that the new sewerage project at Aditypur is the need of the hour for the people of the locality. He said when the project is completed, the residents of Adityapur and Gamharia will be leading a better life.
While addressing the foundation laying ceremony of the sewerage project at the Jai Prakash Udyan at Adityapur, the Chief Minister said: "We want to develop Adityapur which is a part of Steel City like any other smart towns. We are working on brining better civic amenities in this area. We will definitely be able to bring the Steel City among the top 10 in the ongoing Swachh Survekshan.”

The CM said that the Government wants to ensure better infrastructure and civic amenities for the people of State and welfare initiatives are being taken in this regard.
The existing sewerage system in Adityapur had been set up 50 years ago, but due to lack of proper maintenance it has become poor. Keeping in view the need of a new sewerage system, the Adityapur Municipal Council ( AMC) had in 2016 proposed the ambitious sewerage project.
Shedding light on the project, AMC's special officer, Dipak Sahay said it will be a Rs 255 crores project and will be executed by leading construction company Shapoorji Pallonji in the AMC area which comprises Adityapur and Gamharia.
Sahay informed that that the tender process of the project has been completed and work will start from tomorrow to be completed within a time frame of 30 months. He said the once the new sewerage system is completed will serve the sewage facility for the AMC area which has a population over three lakhs.
"The project has all the modern facilities. There will be four sewerage treatment plants and as many sewage pumping stations beside the replacement of old sewage pipes with the new ones," said the special officer.
