The long standing demand of the residents of Kotkapaura area people may get over soon as the state government has sanctioned Rs 15 crore pipe line project to solve the problem.
Earlier, the disposed sewerage waste water was being carried through an old Nalla, which was in very bad shape and developed cracks and openings during the rainy season. Often choked by the weeds, it would get overflown and waste spilled over in the adjoining fields.
Now, as per the press note by the district public relation office, the work of laying STP pipes is going to start on it soon.
The STP pipes are estimated to cover over 5 KMS of its stretch, origination from sewerage treatment plant and ending at village Devi Wala.
The farmers of the area have thanked the Bhagwant Singh led AAP government.
The estimates to lay pipes or reconstruct it, were years ago pegged at Rs 6 crore but with the passage the years, the work would not be completed with about Rs 15 crore now.
