In a rebuttal statement to the report, National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) has provided statistics on tapped drains and near-completion treatment plants.
Providing fresh data, NMCG states that the mission aims at providing "comprehensive and sustainable solutions for major pollution hotspots along the stretch of 97 towns and 4,465 villages on the Ganga stem".
India Today TV covered the stretch on Ganga from Uttarakhand to Bihar and reported the work completed, the work in progress and unfulfilled promises, under the mission.
'Unquiet Ganga' showed sewage treatment plants (STPs) that are using latest technology to clean human/industrial waste, though high capacity STPs are under construction with deadlines between 2019-2020.
India Today TV utilised data from NMCG website and reported 63 sewerage projects have been setup along the river from Uttarakhand till West Bengal. Nineteen of them have started functioning in Uttarakhand.
The government claims that as per latest status, a total of 151 sewage projects have been taken up. "Of these, 112 are on the main stem of Ganga and 39 projects on its tributaries. Thirty seven sewerage sector projects have been completed."
However, the data, as reported by India Today TV, can still be found on the official website.
"Large infrastructure projects take time for project preparation, procurement and execution. There has been attempt to also carry out a condition assessment of old projects and rehabilitate, upgrade wherever feasible, along with new assets. The program has gathered momentum which has led to several projects getting completed or reaching an advanced stage of completion," clarifies Sanjam Chima, senior consultant, Communications and Public Outreach, NMCG.
As per the studied of NMCG and also an IIT consortium report, earlier the STP projects did not deliver enough due to lack of engineering supervision, gaps in proper operation and maintenance, power supply, disputes among multiple agencies, lack of reliable and GIS based data, among others. This fact was also reported in our ground reports.
The government ensures that for proper delivery and sustainability, performance-based models like HAM have been adopted in STPs along with the 'One city one operator concept'.
Monitoring has been improved and modernised. Besides this, the public private partnership (PPP) approach of Hybrid Annuity Mode and Performance Linked Payment for sewerage projects, 15 years long term operation and maintenance (O&M) has been certified.
The total sanctioned cost for projects in Uttarakhand (sewage and ghat works) is Rs 1,337 crore. It is to be utilised over the next 15 years under O&M approach.
In Kanpur, an important interception by government in November 2018 was to tap the Sismau drain, whose sewage has been diverted to a sewage treatment plant (STP).
NMCG maintains that the pollution caused by Sisamau drain that discharged nearly 140 MLD untreated sewage every day into Ganga will be solved as STP treatment for was completed in November 2018. It was part of the agenda since Ganga Action Plan I.
