Separate entity to be set up for urban regeneration along Leh
RAWALPINDI:
In a new development, city planners have scrapped a project to set up a plant for treating the polluted and sewage water of Leh Expressway, which may cause a serious environmental hazard for the Rawalpindi city in the future.
The plant was supposed to be set up in Gorakhpur for treating sewer and polluted water of Leh Expressway or surface runoff (stormwater, rainwater) using sewers and trenches, however, it has been taken off the mega project, official sources said.
The treatment plant on a portion of a 5500-kanal of land of RDA in Gorakhpur had been planned initially to permanently do away with the environmental pollution caused by open sewage and polluted water.
