To upgrade its sewer and drainage network and augment its drinking water supplies in Indirapuram, the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has appointed a consultancy firm to prepare a detailed project report (DPR). The authority is also spending Rs 4.5 crore on boosting the water supply network to Ahimsa Khand from the overhead tank in Niti Khand. “The authority acted after we moved the NGT and has taken up the survey work for augmenting basic infrastructure. “In our petition before the NGT, we raised the issues of sewage and drinking water supply, which have become major problems for residents . There is a problem of sewage backflow and an acute drinking water crisis,” he said.
