Now Damodar will be freed from urban pollution
Saryu Rai told that during the Damodar Samiksha Yatra in the year 2022, a resolution was taken in Rajarappa that now Damodar will be freed from urban pollution. There was also talk of setting up STP (sewerage treatment plant) in this regard. A letter was written to the Government of India only last year. The Government of India showed generosity and sent money to the State Government for STP. This money was given to set up STPs in Ramgarh, Dhanbad and Phusro. The district administration has decided to install STP in Chas from DMFT fund. Those from Patratu Thermal and Chandrapura Thermal are getting STPs installed at their own expense.
