9.39 crore solution to Uttam Nagar waterlogging problem
Ahmedabad: The city civic body has allocated Rs 9.39 crore for projects to address waterlogging in Maninagar ward's Uttam Nagar area. The area is among the 157 identified 'trouble' spots during monsoon.
At a meeting of AMC's water and sewerage committee on Monday, a proposal to build a 900mm gravity line and a new stormwater pumping station at a cost of Rs 7.46 crore to tackle waterlogging at Uttam Nagar was approved.
Moreover, a 600mm stormwater line will be laid to pump water from this spot to Kharicut Canal through Avkar Hall area. Furthermore, Rs 1.93 crore was approved for desilting all drainage lines in Maninagar ward, taking the total cost to Rs 9.39 crore.
However, civic body sources said that despite the allocation, this monsoon will not be hassle-free for people of this area.
More than 10 significant waterlogging spots have been identified in 200m to 1km radius of Chandola lake, and among them is the area near Mahavir School crossroads in Isanpur. A 600mm stormwater line will be laid to connect this spot to the lake for Rs 1.83 crore. AMC's standing committee had okayed the project proposal on Oct 24 last year.
Additionally, AMC approved a proposal to install a rainwater harvesting structure with eco-blocks on Bandhan Triangle Road near SG Road in the Sola area of Gota ward for Rs 13 crore. More than seven waterlogging spots were identified by AMC in all zonal offices, sub-zonal offices, ward offices, hospitals, and schools in the Vasna and Navrangpura wards of the city.
It has been decided to lay stormwater lines at a cost of Rs 216 crore to resolve the waterlogging issues at 10 spots in Vejalpur, Vasna, and Navrangpura. A Rs 36.27 crore project for a stormwater line from Makraba police headquarters to the Sabarmati via Fatehwadi Canal was also okayed. A proposal to lay stormwater drains using micro-tunneling from Manekbaug to Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee; from Jaydeep Tower to Malav Lake, and from downstream Vasna Barrage to Fatehwadi Canal for Rs 180.17 crore was also approved.

"Careless Dumping Days Behind Us": Delhi To Get India's 1st E-Waste Eco Park
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Delhi to launch an e-waste Eco Park in Holambi Kalan to address electronic waste sustainably. The facility, covering 11.4 acres, will process 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually. With an investment of Rs 150 crore, the park aims to generate Rs 350 crore in revenue. New Delhi: Delhi is taking a groundbreaking step toward a greener future with the launch of India's first e-waste Eco Park in Holambi Kalan. This innovative project aims to revolutionise how the country deals with electronic waste, turning a significant challenge into an opportunity for sustainable growth. Spanning over 11.4 acres, the e-waste Eco Park will be a cutting-edge facility capable of processing up to 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste each year, covering all 106 categories outlined in the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022. With a capital investment of Rs 150 crore and an operational budget exceeding Rs 325 crore, this park is projected to generate Rs 350 crore in revenue, fostering a thriving ecosystem for recycling, recovery, and responsible waste management. "This isn't just about managing waste, it's a testament to Delhi's dedication to a circular economy where every resource counts, and every worker matters," Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said after leading a crucial meeting to finalise the next steps for development. He added, "The days of careless dumping are behind us. We're focused on making Delhi ready for the future industrially, environmentally, and socially." To attract top-notch green technology providers from around the globe, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) will soon issue a global RFQ-cum-RFP tender. The Eco Park will be developed using a DBFOT (Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Transfer) model under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework, with a concession period of 15 years. The construction of the Eco Park is set to wrap up within 18 months. Once up and running, the park will manage nearly 25 per cent of Delhi's e-waste and will serve as a model for similar initiatives across the country. Tackling India's E-Waste Emergency India stands as the third-largest producer of e-waste in the world, churning out over 1.6 million metric tonnes each year. Delhi contributes nearly 9.5 per cent of that staggering total. Unfortunately, only 17.4 per cent of global e-waste is recycled in a scientifically sound manner, which means we're missing out on valuable resources like copper, lithium, and rare earth metals. Delhi's E-Waste Eco Park is the first of four such facilities planned across the country. With solid backing, land set aside, and financial support already secured, Delhi is stepping up to transform environmental challenges into real, sustainable infrastructure for the future. Green Jobs, Clean Delhi It's not just about the environment. The Eco Park is also set to bring order to the informal sector, creating thousands of green jobs and empowering local dismantlers, recyclers, and refurbishers. By encouraging the safe and scientific recovery of essential materials, Delhi is paving the way for a cleaner, greener, and more inclusive industrial landscape.
