Alright folks, hold on to your hats because the Indrayani River Rejuvenation Project is officially a go! After what seemed like ages of back and forth, the Maharashtra State Government’s Environment Department has finally given the green light for this much-anticipated project.
Here’s the lowdown on what went down in the recent meetings:
1. The Project Proponent (PP) and their trusty environmental consultant, M/s. Fine Envirotech Engineers, showed up to discuss the project’s nitty-gritty details. We’re talking about a massive plot area of 3,617,000 m² with plans to retain small and large non-invasive trees, get rid of pesky invasive ones, and even transplant some trees to nearby gardens.
2. Oh, and they’re also looking into building structures on the riverbank. Fancy stuff!
3. The PP has vowed to stick to the recommendations from the Mathematical Model Studies For Routing of Flood report. Safety first, right?
4. Let’s not forget about the electric vehicle charging stations that are on the cards. Keeping up with the times, I see.
5. And here’s a fun fact – recycled water or tanker water will be used instead of drinking water for construction purposes. Talk about sustainability!
After much deliberation, the committee gave the project a thumbs up, with a few conditions, of course. They want detailed plans on tree plantation, compliance with the CWPRS report, an NOC from the Irrigation Department, and strict adherence to their circular from 2018.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the Bhosari MLA Mahesh Landage chimed in with some exciting news. The project, also known as “Namami Indrayani,” is set to receive funding through AMRUT 2.0. The stars have truly aligned for this project!
So, there you have it, folks. The Indrayani River Rejuvenation Project is all set to make waves (pun intended) and bring some much-needed rejuvenation to the area. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
