02 Mar 2026 CW Team

The corporation also intends to upgrade water supply and sewerage systems in Dhanas, Sarangpur, Khuda Alisher, Khuda Lohara, Khudda Jassu, Makhana Majra, Behlana, Raipur Khurd, Kaimbwala, Kishangarh, Mauli Jagran, Daria and Raipur Kalan. Infrastructure for supply of tertiary treated water will be improved and networks will be extended to leftover areas, and a provision of Rs 10 mn has been made for ongoing and newly proposed works to be executed during 2026-27. The plan prioritises expanding distribution networks to ensure treated water reaches additional settlements.

Besides this, the municipal corporation has earmarked Rs 24 mn for provision of basic amenities to Economic Weaker Sections, reflecting a focus on rehabilitated slum dwellers in various colonies. Rehabilitation colonies such as Indira Colony, Mauli Jagran Colony, Bapu Dham Colony Sector 26, Kajheri Colony Sector 52, Palsora Colony Sector 56, Maloya Colony, Dadu Majra Colony, Milk Colony in Dhanas, Janta and Kumhar Colony Sector 25, Ram Darbar and Khuda Lahora Colony and New Dhanas Colony will be targets for upgrades. The administration noted that services provided at inception have been overburdened as residents constructed multiple floors and population increased steeply.

Works under the allocations will strengthen water supply, sewerage and storm water drainage lines across the identified colonies and villages and will be prioritised in the forthcoming financial year. The municipal corporation will oversee execution of the projects and coordinate with relevant agencies to upgrade systems that are beyond current capacity. The investments are presented as necessary steps to address infrastructure deficits and improve public health and urban living standards.

The mayor emphasised the need for better infrastructure facilities in areas including Butrela, Badheri, Burail, Attawa, Hallomajra, Dadumajra, Maloya, Palsora and Kajheri.
