Reinforcement work of the column of anoxic, MBBR tanks and the treated water tank was under process. Similarly Excavation work of the boiler area and MEE has been started. The company was asked to complete the work within the stipulated timeline.
He further said that along with the waste of the pharmaceutical industry, the waste of the village Saidpura will also be treated at the site. Waste water from pharmaceutical industrial units will be brought through tankers and treated water will be sent back to the companies for its use within their premises. It’s a state of the art facility as the treated water will be even cleaner than standards set by PPCB added, Dr. Ashwani Wig, representative from consortium of pharma industries and Mukesh, project incharge.
