Yogi Adityanath Launches Major Drainage Project to Beautify Gorakhpurs Ramgarh Tal

Gorakhpur, November 1 (Daily Kiran) : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Bichiya in Gorakhpur on November 1 to inaugurate the first phase of the Godhodiya Nala Project, which has an investment of ₹495.24 crores. During the event, he also laid the foundation for several other development initiatives. These include the second phase of the Godhodiya Nala Project, costing ₹92.72 crores, a road alongside the drain valued at ₹65.99 crores, and the Gorakhpur Sewerage Scheme Zone A3, estimated at ₹721.40 crores.

In his address, Adityanath highlighted the significance of addressing drainage issues across 17 wards in Gorakhpur. He provided details about the project, stating that the first phase involves converting the entire drain into a 7.75-kilometer RCC drain. This phase also includes the construction of a 17.5-kilometer intercepting trunk sewer line, a 38 MLD sewage treatment plant, a main pumping station with a capacity of 61 MLD, and the reconstruction of 14 bridges. The inauguration marks a significant investment of ₹500 crores.

The Chief Minister emphasized that sewer lines have been laid on both sides of the drain to prevent waste from entering it. He assured that water from the drain will be treated before flowing into Ramgarh Tal, which will help maintain its cleanliness and beauty. He noted that the completion of this phase is not just a project milestone, but also a crucial step in eliminating mosquitoes and illegal activities in Gorakhpur.

Adityanath remarked that the Godhodiya Nala was once a major problem for Gorakhpur, causing flooding, filth, and diseases during the rainy season. The transformation into a modern drainage system is expected to benefit millions in 17 wards and is a significant move towards keeping Ramgarh Tal clean.
