Kejriwal Will Get Unauthorised Septic Tanks Cleaned For FREE
(New Delhi)Kejriwal Will Get Septic Tanks Cleaned For FREE
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced a scheme in which people in unauthorised colonies can get their septic tanks cleaned for free.
There are around 1,700 unauthorised colonies in Delhi and around 430 have sewer lines. In rest of the colonies, people have septic tanks, which they get cleaned by hiring private parties.
Many times people die while cleaning these septic tanks and this is a big step in making Delhi clean and putting an end to sewer deaths, he said.
The contractors or private companies that engage these people are not registered. These companies dump the sludge in drains, contaminating the Yamuna river, Kejriwal said.
The Delhi government will get the septic tanks cleaned for free, he said.
He said the government will hire an agency to clean the septic tanks in unauthorised colonies and a tender will be floated within a month.
DJB trucks will collect the sludge from these septic tanks and take it to sewage treatment plants.
Any person can put in a request to get the septic tank cleaned by calling a phone number, he said.

Delhi Has No Infrustructure For Bty-Operated Vehicles But AAP Adamant to Procure 1000 e Buses
The AAP government on Saturday approved a proposal to add 1,000 low-floor AC electric buses to the national capital’s public transport fleet, making Delhi the first city in the country to have such large number of environment-friendly vehicles.
Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari attacked the AAP government saying it always accused Modi government of obstructing it from functioning, and still it managed to go for such a large number of e-buses.
“After, four years now Kejriwal government is going to procure 1,000 e-buses, although he always accused Modi government of stopping it from working,” Tiwari said in a press conference.
He also alleged “corruption” in procurement of buses.
BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta claimed there were not enough charging facilities and depots for the e-buses.
“The Delhi government will suffer loss of Rs 80 per km per electric bus which will be Rs 60 lakh per year. For 1,000 buses, the loss will be around Rs 600 crore per year, and Rs 6,000 crore in ten years,” claimed Gupta.
