The Delhi Jal Board plans an 8.34-km sewer rising main through the Yamuna floodplain, Hindustan Times reported.
The line would carry sewage from the Ring Road pumping station to the Okhla sewage treatment plant, at an approved cost of ₹148.90 crore.
A Yamuna activist has opposed it, and the draft Master Plan 2041 says no permanent construction should be allowed on the floodplain.
