A sewerage project has been proposed to be set up in Guwahati in the Assam State Budget for 2014-15.
The State Budget, which was presented yesterday, stated that the project would be set up with an investment of Rs 1,700 crore. It will create a scientific storm water drainage system in Guwahati for mitigating the problem of water logging and artificial flood.
The Assam State Budget also proposed to construct under-bridges at five places of level crossing, street lights for all major roads, lanes and bye-lanes, and affordable housing for the 10,000 urban poor of Guwahati.
