A significant project is underway in Bihar to clean the Ganga River and improve sewage management. Under this initiative, seven new intermediate pumping stations (IPS) will be constructed to directly channel sewage water from drains flowing into the Ganga. A key feature of these pumping stations is their use of special technology designed to avoid unnecessary digging of roads and alleys. This approach will minimize disruption to urban areas often caused by traditional sewage line construction.

Conventional sewage projects frequently require extensive excavation, leading to traffic congestion, dust, and inconvenience for local residents. The new technology aims to mitigate these issues, allowing for project completion with reduced disruption. This initiative represents a major step towards preventing untreated wastewater from entering the Ganga in cities like Patna and ensuring its proper treatment.

The construction of these seven intermediate pumping stations will make the process of transporting sewage to main sewage treatment plants (STPs) more efficient and environmentally friendly. This will not only contribute to keeping the Ganga clean but also help rejuvenate the river's ecosystem. The Bihar government and relevant departments are committed to completing this project in a timely manner to ensure the purity of the Ganga and provide a cleaner environment for the state's residents. This project will also significantly contribute to achieving the objectives of the 'Namami Gange' program.
