Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the Government will construct roads, sewer, storm water drains, and water pipelines simultaneously across all unauthorised colonies in the national Capital.
Kejriwal was on a visit to North East Delhi's Kanjhawala village along with Health Minister Satyendar Jain to inspect the development work of two model colonies-selected by the Delhi Government --to test the concept of constructing all four systems (water pipelines, sewer, stormwater drains and roads) together.
"We will take up the work of constructing roads, sewer, stormwater drains and water pipelines in a single time frame in all unauthorised colonies of Delhi," Kejriwal said.
He said that as per the concept, there will be no drains on the roads, instead, all the stormwater and household water will go directly in the underground pipelines, recharging the water table.
The Delhi Government officials also demonstrated how the system will work in Kanjhawala's Punjab Khor village by releasing water on the roads to test whether the water gets absorbed.
