RAJOURI: In a major step towards strengthening urban sanitation infrastructure, a project worth ₹31 crore for the construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and diversion of nallahs draining into the Tawi River has been approved for Rajouri town under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0. The work on the project is expected to commence soon.
The project will be executed by the Urban Environmental Engineering Department (UEED) to ensure scientific treatment of wastewater and prevent the direct discharge of untreated sewage into the Tawi River.
The initiative is expected to address the issue of wastewater management in Rajouri town through an organised mechanism for sewage collection, diversion and treatment. By channelising the nallahs towards the treatment facility, the project will help reduce the flow of untreated wastewater into the river and contribute towards improving its water quality.
Besides safeguarding the Tawi River, the project will strengthen the town's sanitation infrastructure and promote sustainable wastewater management practices. It will also support broader efforts towards environmental protection, public health and maintaining cleaner surroundings for the residents.
The project is in line with the objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0, which emphasises scientific waste management, improved sanitation facilities and sustainable urban development. Its implementation will mark an important step towards addressing environmental concerns associated with the discharge of untreated wastewater.
