Summary:
Noida, Sep 28 (PTI) Residents of Greater Noida might start getting Ganga water by the end of this year, ending their dependence on the groundwater, officials said on Tuesday.
The supply will be made under a special Rs 800-crore project, said officials of the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA).
The project was started in 2010 and has missed several deadlines over the years.
GNIDA CEO Narendra Bhooshan on Tuesday inspected the master reservoir and reviewed the progress of the project, which is in its final stages.
“Preparations are underway to soon bring 85 cusecs of Ganga water to Greater Noida through the Ganges canal.
About Rs 800 crore are being spent on this project and it is expected that the Ganga water would reach Greater Noida homes by the end of this year,” Bhooshan said.
