Mr. Jain said that upgradation of the Sewage Treatment Plants will be done which will cost around ₹153 crore.

Further, the laying of sewer lines and construction of sewage treatment plants at Shahbad group of Colonies, Sarangpur, Galibpur, Kazipur and Khera Dabar Group of Colonies has been approved and will be completed within two year,” Mr. Jain said.
