Govt Details River Cleanup Measures After MLA's Query

Govt Details River Cleanup Measures After MLA's Query

In the Jharkhand Assembly, MLA Saryu Roy asked the government about pollution in the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers.

The government said they are working on fixing the problem.

They mentioned that some sewage treatment plants are already working, and more are being built.

For example, in Ranchi, a plant is treating waste and putting clean water into a lake.

In Jamshedpur, they are planning bigger plants to treat waste from many drains.

The government also talked about plans to manage rivers better in many cities, including Ranchi and Jamshedpur.

However, MLA Roy said the government should share these plans with the public and start working on them faster because untreated waste is still going into the rivers.
