Funds sanctioned to resolve sewage overflow in Civil Lines
Kanpur: The Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) on Thursday sanctioned a sum of Rs 92.24 lakh to UP Jal Nigam (Rural) to resolve the issue persistent sewage water logging near Amba Nursing Home in Civil Lines area. The problem reportedly originated nearly four years ago when I&D project of nullahs under the Namami Gange Mission was implemented. Since then, sewer chambers have consistently overflowed in the area resulting in frequent water logging in Civil Lines as well as on VIP Road. Mayor Pramila Pandey told reporters that a team of Jalkal engineers visited the site to examine the situation. It was observed that a 1,600 mm diameter rising line had been divided into two lines of 800 mm diameter each, and later recombined into a 1,600 mm diameter rising line leading to reduced flow in the system. The UP Jal Nigam (Rural) work agency stated that the original 1,600 mm diameter line was laid under JNNURM and that the Muir Mill nullah was not crossed near Amba Nursing Home. In 2019, during Ardh Kumbh, the line was connected to two pipelines of 800 mm and one of 450 mm diameter. These three pipelines are insufficient to handle the pressure of the sewer flow during peak hours, resulting in overflow in the Civil Lines area. The engineers concluded that the only viable solution was to lay a 1,600 mm diameter RCC pipeline, estimated to cost around Rs 92.24 lakh. Based on this assessment and after discussions with officials, it was decided to allocate the sanctioned amount to the UP Jal Nigam (Rural). As the chairman of the Committee of the 15th Commission, Mayor Pramila Pandey sanctioned the funds and instructed UP Jal Nigam (Rural) to commence the work without delay.
