Speaking to The Hindu, Deputy Commissioner Rahul Pandve stressed that Yadgir’s rapid population growth necessitates major infrastructural upgrades, particularly in sewage management.
The Yadgir district administration has submitted a proposal for a ₹287.7 crore underground drainage project to the Karnataka government. This initiative aims to improve the city's sanitation and infrastructure, in response to the district's rapid population growth. Deputy Commissioner Rahul Pandve informed that a Detailed Project Report has been approved, paving the way for administrative approval of the project.
The plan involves constructing a 9 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant and a wet well near the Bhima river. Wastewater from different zones will be transferred to the STP for treatment, ensuring no untreated sewage is discharged into the river. Once approved, work will commence, transforming Yadgir into a cleaner, greener city.
