After inspecting the Interceptor Sewer Project of the Delhi Jal Board
(DJB) at Kakrola Mode in west Delhi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on
Wednesday said major drains are expected to be sewage pollution free
within three years, which is a major steps towards cleaning theYamuna.
"This project will also provide sewage facilities to many rural
villages, unauthorised colonies and JJ clusters," Dikshit said.
The project is a major initiative of the DJB to tackle issues of untreated sewage being dumped into the Yamuna.
The interceptor sewer is being laid along the three major drains —
Najafgarh, supplementary drain and the Shahdara drain — which account
for 75 per cent of sewage polluting the Yamuna.
