Will overhaul city’s sewerage system in 5 years: Kejriwal

Will overhaul city’s sewerage system in 5 years: Kejriwal

The Hindu
Sunday, January 26, 2025 2:24 AM GMT

Arvind Kejriwal unveils plan to revamp Delhi's sewer system in five years, urging voters to support AAP's initiatives.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday (January 25, 2025) announced a comprehensive plan to overhaul the Capital’s sewer infrastructure within five years.

Mr. Kejriwal said significant progress has been made over the past decade to lay sewer lines in unauthorised colonies and work is on to connect every house to the system.

In a video message ahead of his three rallies in the Capital, Mr. Kejriwal said: “When our government was formed for the first time in 2015, we inherited several problems, one of the major ones being the sewer systems. There are 1,792 unauthorised colonies in Delhi. Before 2015, no developmental work was allowed in these colonies due to orders from the Supreme Court and the Centre. We overcame all these hurdles and started development work in all the unauthorised colonies.”

He urged the people of Delhi not to panic and pledged to address pending issues rapidly after returning to power.

While the ruling party has been promising better utilities in unauthorised colonies, the BJP has been promising houses for those in unauthorised colonies.

Mr. Kejriwal recollected the state of the colonies when he assumed power. “They had no sewer pipelines, so all the sewage used to flow through drains and streets. Over the past 10 years, we have laid sewer pipelines on a large scale in almost all colonies. We are now working to connect every household to the sewer system,” he said.
