Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the AAP government
will construct roads, sewer, stormwater drains, and water pipelines
simultaneously across all unauthorised colonies in the national capital.
"We
will take up the work of constructing roads, sewer, stormwater drains
and water pipelines in a single time frame in all unauthorised colonies
of Delhi," Kejriwal said.
"As per the concept, there will be no
drains on the roads, instead, all the stormwater and household water
will go directly in the underground pipelines, recharging the water
table," the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief added.
This, he said,
will lead to a decrease in dengue and malaria cases in the national
capital as clogged open drains would be eliminated.
Kejriwal was
on a visit to North East Delhi's Kanjhawala village along with Health
Minister Satyendar Jain to inspect the development work of two model
colonies -- selected by the Delhi government -- to test the concept of
constructing all four systems (water pipelines, sewer, stormwater drains
and roads) together.
Talking to IANS, a Delhi Jal Board (DJB)
official, said working on the four systems simultaneously "would avoid
overlapping of work and reduce costs".
In this model, he said, "we have completely removed stormwater drains and developed a rechargeable structure".
"We
are also developing a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for a particular
colony in Kanjhawala so that all the sewage from that area is treated
there and then," he said.
The Delhi government officials also
demonstrated how the system will work in Kanjhawala's Punjab Khor
village by releasing water on the roads to test whether the water gets
absorbed.
