The Story in Brief
A Rs 83-crore sewage treatment plant under the Centre's Namami Godavari programme is in its final construction phase in Rajamahendravaram. Officials from the Municipal Engineering Department said civil works are complete, and electro-mechanical equipment installation will finish by month-end, with trial runs expected next month. The 50 MLD capacity plant will treat sewage from the city's drainage network through dedicated pipelines before discharging clean water into the Godavari. Rajamahendravaram Urban MLA Adireddy Srinivas called the facility a game changer that will significantly reduce untreated sewage and plastic waste entering the river. The existing 30 MLD plant is unable to handle the current load. Officials project sewage generation will reach 110 MLD by 2030, and proposals for a second phase have been prepared, pending additional Central funding.
The Indian Opinion
Some may call this just another government project, but the Rs 83-crore plant is a concrete step to clean the Godavari. Critics often accuse authorities of only making promises. Here, civil works are done and machinery is being installed. The real test will come when the plant starts treating 50 MLD of sewage daily. If it works as planned, it will cut pollution before the Pushkarams. That is a measurable outcome, not just a speech.
