Patna (Bihar) [India], Dec 31 (ANI): In a bid to boost Bihar's sewerage treatment capacity, a sustainable wastewater infrastructure will be constructed in the state under the Namami Gange Programme.
An agreement was signed between the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Bihar Urban Development Ministry, and DK Sewage Project Private Limited for the Digha-Kankarbagh projects.
The NMCG has also sanctioned Rs 1,269.77 crore for the Digha-Kankarbagh project under the Namami Gange Programme.
