This would be one of the largest projects in which 114 unauthorised colonies and six villages of Kirari and Mundka would be covered to benefit 7.3 lakh residents. A total of 423km of sewage pipelines would be laid at a cost of Rs 480 crore. Pumping stations would be set up at Prem Nagar, Bhagya Vihar and Pratap Vihar.
The CM said that despite shortage of funds, he had instructed officials to start the project as soon as possible because he had made a promise to people. Some parts of Kirari remain flooded for months after monsoon due to poor drainage.
“The AAP government has already provided water to every household in Kirari. Now it aims to provide sewer lines and good roads. In the last 70 years, no other party has worked for the development of unauthorised colonies as much as AAP in the past five years,” added Kejriwal.
Water minister Satyendar Jain said that 105 of the 114 colonies where work had started were in Kirari and the rest in Mundka.
