Varanasi to get new sewage treatment plants under 'Namami Gange' program

Varanasi's growing population and never-stopping influx of tourists across year has led to most resources in city exceeding ir us capacity especially holy river Ganga. With millions flogging to holy city for performing prayers and last rights, Varanasi generates about 300 million litres of sew per day. Reportedly, sew generation in city is much higher than its existing capacity.

Following this strain on city's resources, government has anunced several projects for treatment of sewer under  Namami Gange program.  Clean Ganga or Namami Gange programme is, as name suggests, a massive, central government-led initiative to cleanse river. Work is in full swing to tap major drains flowing into river and divert m to sew treatment plants (STPs).
