• 02A significant upgrade to the Keshopur Sewage Treatment Plant will increase its capacity from 12 million gallons per day to 18 million gallons per day at an estimated cost of ₹122 crore.
• 03A major trunk sewer line rehabilitation project from Amichand Chowk to the Old Kalyanpuri Sewage Pumping Station will cost nearly ₹57 crore.
• 04The new Underground Reservoir (UGR) in Rohtas Nagar will have a capacity of 0.72 million gallons per day, enhancing local water supply.
• 05The projects aim to prevent untreated sewage from entering the Najafgarh Drain, supporting the overall goal of Yamuna rejuvenation and environmental protection.
