Summary:
But the drain is unable to hold excess sewage flowing from Kukrail drain, and is releasing it in the river.An irrigation official said, "Kukrail drain is a very old and huge drain. Kukrail drain has again started discharging sewage directly into Gomti near Metro City Road, causing a lot of froth and pollution. Besides, when the outflow from Sharda Sahayak Canal increases, it also discharges in the Kukrail drain. The intercepting drain was built to prevent the sewage flowing from drains into Gomti and were supposed to channelize it to Bharwara STP. The drain which is already carrying so much sewage is unable to hold the excess water from the canal and releases heavy quantity of sewage mixed water in the Gomti..
