The River Rejuvenation Project is an important project that aims to clean the Mula-Mutha river in India. This project is being done with help from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and is now 70% finished. The goal is to treat a lot of dirty water, about 1,450 million liters every day, to make the river's water safe and clean again.
To do this, workers are building 11 new sewage treatment plants. They're also putting in 50 kilometers of drainage pipes to help manage waste better. This shows a strong effort to take care of our environment by cleaning up our water.
Right now, the project needs more time to finish. The people in charge have asked for one extra year, moving the deadline from March 2025 to March 2026. This is because building these facilities is complicated and they faced some challenges along the way.
The project has a big budget of ₹1,000 crore, which means a lot of money is being spent to improve our city's environmental systems. It isn't just about cleaning the water; it also plans to reuse treated water for farming and to promote good environmental practices.
Currently, construction is happening at 10 of the 11 sewage treatment plants. However, there's a delay in starting the plant near the Botanical Garden, which is a concern that needs careful management to avoid more delays.
As the project moves forward, everyone is focused on keeping the work going while making sure everything is built well. Finishing this project will be a big step in restoring our rivers and managing water in a better way. It could also help guide similar projects in other cities.
