Varanasi: Experts including river engineer and environmentalists are of the view that the 50 MLD sewage treatment plant (STP) being built under hybrid annuity mode in Ramna area would fail to serve the purpose of managing pollution in river Ganga in Varanasi.
The Ramna STP is in the eye of a storm, particularly after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath sought a report from the divisional commissioner and asked to fix the accountability of the officials who prepared the sewage estimation report of Asi river (nullah) and detailed project report of Ramna STP.
During his recent visit to the city, the CM was informed that the sewage load on Ramna STP is over 60 MLD. Interestingly, the sewage load till 2030 had been estimated as 50 MLD in the DPR.
