It was recently announced by the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) that they will collaborate with a Japanese company to finally do away with the decaying sewerage system in the city. According to the agreement the GMDA will work along with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and develop a Rs 3,200-crore project to assist proper disposal of wastes in the city. There will also be two sewage treatment plants (STP) which will be set up at Khondajan and Boragaon in Guwahati. The STP’s will treat the wastes from toilets, baths and kitchens.
Members of JICA had already visited the city and decided on the site for the proposed STP’s. The system will help to keep the city clean as the wastes will be disposed in the outskirts of the Guwahati city. The wastes will be carried to the nearest water body after it is treated by the STP’s.Through the system every household will be connected with the network residents need not require a septic tank once the project is done. Officials of GMDA have said the process has already hit the floors.
