Zirakpur to get sewerage treatment plant

The civic amenities in Zirakpur are in for a facelift. As a step in this direction, a sewerage treatment plant is being installed here.
Official sources informed TNS that a grant of Rs 18 crore has been sanctioned for the sewerage treatment plant (STP) by the central government and the state government under the Urban Infrastructure and Development of Small and Medium Town (UIDSMT) scheme.
The town, known for its upcoming malls and real-estate business, is now moving towards urbanisation. This rapid urbanisation has now prodded the Zirakpur MC to set up a sewerage treatment plant in Singhpura village. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned in the next two years and will be built on 5 acre, near Singhpura village.
Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, executive officer of Zirakpur municipal council R.K. Mittal said the initial sum of Rs 16.79 crore has already been released by the Government of India under the UIDSMT scheme. The state government, too, has declared the grant for the same.
Mittal said the plant would be constructed under extended aeration technology. The plant would provide sewerage treatment facility to all areas in the periphery of Zirakpur.
Zirakpur municipal council president Narinder Kumar Sharma said other than solving the problem of water pollution, it would also help the farmers of the area as the water from the plant could be used for the irrigation purpose.
SDO, water and sewerage supply, R.K. Goyal confirmed that the treatment plant would be constructed under extended aeration technology that would process 17.3 million litres per day. “We had decided to invite the tenders for the treatment plant that would be open on October 23,” he added.

Sewerage treatment plant a distant dream

Tribune News Service
Despite massive urbanisation followed by a heavy influx of population, Zirakpur Municipal Council (MC) has failed to put in place a sewerage treatment plant. As a result, 2.5 million gallons (approx) a day of sewage generated from the urban conglomerate is being discharged in Sukhna Choe.
The MC has already spent lakhs of rupees to lay sewerage network across Zirakpur. But in absence of the sewerage treatment plant, the untreated sewage is polluting Sukhna Choe. Sources say that MC had failed to handover the land to Punjab Sewerage Board to set up the Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP).


Recently, the Punjab Pollution Control Board had asked the MC to set up a sewerage treatment plant and set the deadline for its construction till March 2011. The board had also asked the MC that if they failed to meet the deadline it would have to pay Rs 2 lakh bank guarantee for an extension.
“The sewerage laying work is being carried out by Punjab Sewerage Department and around 85 per cent work has been completed. However, the council failed to hand over the land to the sewerage board for setting up the STP and till now the water is being released into Sukhna Choe,” said an official of the sewerage department.
MC sources said a case regarding the land in Singhpura village for the plant was pending in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The pollution control board had asked the MC to finalise another land to set up the plant till March 2011, sources added.
According to the sewerage board official, the work of sewerage laying was in progress and would be completed by year end. The department had started the installation work of the Main Pumping Station (MPS) at Singhpura village where the STP is likely to be set up. The official said the pumping station would only help to extract the untreated water and would further dispose it in Ghaggar.
Official sources informed that the cost of sewerage project under the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) was ` 52.19 crore and a grant of ` 18 crore (approx) has been sanctioned for the sewerage treatment plant (STP) by the Central government and the state government under the Urban Infrastructure and development of Small and Medium Town (UIDSMT) scheme.

AMARINDER MOVING ON RAHUL’S FOOTPRINTS, ENSURING DEFEAT ON EVERY SEAT HE CAMPAIGNED –NK SHARMA

 Chandigarh, January 30

The Shiromani Akali Dal today said that the intensive campaigning of Capt. Amarinder Singh in DSGMC elections has proved as a death nail in the coffin of Sarnas.
In a statement issued from the party head office here today, the party Treasurer and Joint Secretary NK Sharma said that Capt. Amarinder Singh is moving on the footprints of Rahul Gandhi as wherever he campaigned he ensured the defeat of Sarna’s candidates. The SAD leader said that Congress party should use the services of Capt. Amarinder Singh as a ‘ lucky charm’ because he would ensure sure shot defeat  of Congress candidates even in their so called strongholds.
Sharma said that this defeat was result of pent up anger of sikh community who have been denied justice even after 28 years of the sikh massacre of 1984 as Sarna was hand in glove with killers sabotaging their legal battle at every available step. He said that with the eclipse of Sarnas from the Delhi scene there was a ray of hope for the families of the victims of 1984 anti sikh massacre and reiterated the resolve of SAD to fight for justice till exemplary punishment is meted to Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar
