XXI. WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION - Planning

trunk sewers due to widening of carriage way of a number of roads due to which large
trunk sewers have come under the main carriage way. This phenomenon has
accelerated the degradation of sewer lines.
In view of the above to give relief to local areas substantial quantity of the
sewage, which is otherwise required to be conveyed to the respective STPs, is
discharged into the open drains. It is estimated that about 91 K.Ms. of Trunk Sewers
need desilting and rehabilitation including repair of settlement. Some of the important
sewers in this category are Ring Road Trunk Sewer, Indian Express Sewer, Sita Ram
Bazar Sewer, University Trunk Sewer, North Trunk Sewer, Harsh Vihar – Haider Puri
Sewer, West Delhi Sewer, Outfall sewer from Q Point to Kilokari SPS, Sewer along
Arbindo Marg, Cross Connection No. 2,3 & 4, Karol Bagh Sewer, Bela Road Sewer.
The work for desilting/rehabilitation in 20 KM length has already been completed & is in
progress in 10.5 KM length, which is likely to be completed by June 2004. Further
action is being taken to desilt and rehabilitate the remaining Trunk Sewers.
Rehabilititation of Ring Road Trunk Sewer and Bela Road Trunk sewer are included
under the YAP II.
(b) New Trunk Sewers :
New Trunk Sewers are also required to be laid to extend sewerage facilities to new
areas (Unauthorized/Regularized Colonies, Urban Villages etc.) and cope up the
increased waste water generation due to increase in population and water supply.
Some of these are Trunk Sewer along Wazirabad Road in East Delhi, East Punjabi
Bagh. Work for Dabri Trunk Sewer and Sagarpur Trunk Sewer is in progress.
