A total of 25,000 households in East Delhi will be provided free sewer connections under the 'Mukhyamantri Muft Sewer Connection Yojana'.
The decision was taken at a board meeting of the DJB chaired by Water Minister Satyendar Jain. The colonies include Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Chandu Nagar, and parts of Khajuri Khas.
- These free connections will be provided in 12 colonies in Karawal Nagar and Mustafabad.
- The households will be connected to the existing sewer network.
- The aim is to prevent sewage from landing in the Yamuna river.
