Chief Minister Mohan Yadav directed the officials of Ujjain and Indore to develop a strategy preventing sewerage and drain water mixing in Shipra river. The Chief Minister said that it is a matter of concern that dirty water is getting into Shipra. He said to take opinion of an expert for conservation and rejuvenation of the river.
The Chief Minister said that to stop the water from drain and sewerage, stop-dams should be built in Sanwer, Ramwasa, Panthapipalai, Raghopipalya and install water treatment plant there. Farmers should also be advised to use the clean water from the water treatment plant for irrigation. The Chief Minister said that under no circumstances dirty water should enter into Shipra. He said to make adequate arrangements for drain and sewerage water for the new colonies as well. That water should not be found in the Shipra river under any circumstances. The Chief Minister said that the work of maintenance, repair work of stop-dam and raising its height if required should be done on priority. These instructions were given by Chief Minister at a meeting on Shipra River Conservation. It was informed that there is a proposal to build a pucca stopdam on Kanh river. The Chief Minister said that there is a pumping station in Sadawal. Water should be diverted to the stopdam. The Chief Minister said that if the dirty water is controlled by constructing a water treatment plant and stopdam on Sanwer itself, then Shipra will remain pure.
The Chief Minister said that the Tata Project is lagging behind to complete its project in the city. Their work should be reviewed again. He said to stop dirt to pile-up in Narsingh Ghat, and Ramghat with utmost priority. Regarding the Gondia trenching ground, the Chief Minister said that due to the garbage dump at one place, drinking water in five nearby villages is not potable. There is a need for waste management through new technology.
The Chief Minister said that at present, a plan should be prepared to stop the waste material of the municipal corporation and the dirty water of the industry. He instructed Indore Divisional Commissioner Mal Singh to prepare an action plan.
MP Anil Firozia gave necessary information regarding the drains joining Rudra Sagar and the drainage system in new colonies. MLA Anil Jain Kaluhera said that there is a need to construct small stopdams to prevent the water of drains. The Chief Minister also inquired about the Namami Gange project.
