The state-wise details of sanctioned projects, their cost allocation and completed projects is enclosed at Annexure-I.
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has estimated sewage generation of 3558 MLD from the 110 Ganga front towns in 5 Ganga main stem states (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal). With the interventions taken up under Namami Gange programme, at present the total treatment capacity along the towns located along main stem of river Ganga increased to 2589 MLD. In addition, approximately 910 MLD sewage is treated through East Kolkata Wetland. Apart from the above, projects for developing 1104 MLD STP capacity in the towns along river Ganga main stem have been taken up which are at different stages of implementation.
As informed by CPCB, under the Namami Gange prgramme, during December 2021-April 2022, 2706 Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs) having potential to discharge into river Ganga & its tributaries in seven states Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Delhi and Haryana were inspected. It was estimated that these GPIs discharge about 411.25 million litres per day wastewater having pollution load of 27.71 tonnes per day in terms of BOD.
Actions taken by the Government for pollution abatement, including sewage and industrial pollution Management for river Ganga are as follows:
Directions are issued by CPCB for proper management of sewage and industries pollution time to time. National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is also engaged in monitoring of Wastewater treatment plants located on the bank of river Ganga and its tributaries and appropriate directions are issued regarding the compliance and functioning of Wastewater Treatment Plants.
