Delhi | Friday | 15th November, 2019

Summary:

Speaking to the media, Kejriwal said for the ‘Mukhyamantri Septic Tank Safai Yojana’, Delhi government will provide a phone number where people can call and ask for an appointment. “A truck will come to their house to clean the tank and will collect the waste free of charge,” Kejriwal said. The scheme will cover the septic tanks without sewer lines, mostly build in unauthorised colonies. The underway connection will take time and as people are using the septic tank, the government will provide the service for cleaning. He said the trucks will collect the sludge from the septic tanks and take it to sewage treatment plants..
