Nagpur reviews slow progress on AMRUT 2.0 sewer works

Nagpur’s AMRUT 2.0 sewerage project has come under review after slow construction progress and concerns over poor road restoration affected commuters across the city.

According to officials, around 260 km of the planned 537 km sewer network has been completed over the past 21 months. The mayor has expressed concern over delays and directed contractors to accelerate work while improving the quality of road restoration after sewer-laying activities.

Residents have reported inconvenience because of prolonged road excavations, traffic disruptions and damaged road surfaces.

Civic authorities have stressed the need to complete the project within the scheduled timeline while minimising disruption to daily life, reported The Times of India.

The AMRUT 2.0 project is intended to strengthen Nagpur’s underground sewer infrastructure, improve wastewater management and support the city’s long-term urban development goals.
