U’khand establishes sewage treatment plant in Haldwani

A sewage treatment facility worth Rs 353.8 million was officially opened by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who hailed it as a significant step towards cleanliness. “All our rivers and canals, big or small, merge with the Ganga at one point or the other. So, to keep the Ganga pollution-free and its flow uninterrupted, we need to keep all our rivers and canals clean. The sewage treatment plant is a step towards that,” he said. The quality of water of the Ganga has become “A-Grade” up to Rishikesh and the goal now is to make it “A-Grade up to Haridwar, the chief minister said. Additionally, he declared that funding will be provided in the state budget for Haldwani to build an international grade zoo.

The plant, according to Haldwani Mayor Jogendra Pal Singh Rautela, is a significant step towards cleanliness and a fresh start for the community.

During Dhami's visit, members of the Youth Congress, led by their state vice president Hemant Sahu, called for an investigation by the CBI into the death of Ankita Bhandari and paper leak cases involving recruitment exams in the state. They also released black balloons into the air in protest.
