State clears Rs332-crore sewage pipeline project in 16 merged areas

Pune: The urban development department on Tuesday cleared a proposal approving Rs332 crore to build a sewage pipeline network in 16 of the 23 merged areas within the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits. "Sewage lines will be laid in 16 of the 23 merged areas after state govt's administrative approval. Tenders will be floated next month, and actual ground work is expected to begin after the rainy season," said Jagdish Khanore, a senior official from PMC's drainage department. He said the problem of open drainage lines will be resolved to a large extent after the pipelines are laid. PMC prepared a detailed project report worth Rs1,437.94 crore for the sewerage system in 23 newly included villages.
