Ganga cleaning project in Bihar

National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) will soon launch a project aimed at cleaning river Ganga in Bihar. In December 2015, the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, hired NBCC to execute the feasibility study and conditional assessment of the river for entry-level activities in Bihar. DPRs have been approved the Ministry of Water Resources for three towns. Key highlights of the project include cleaning of debris, construction of new ghats and modernisation of the existing ghats, repairing and cleaning of the river surface, construction of crematorium and public facilities such as toilets and setting up of a village drainage system in order to curb direct discharge into the river.
