Gorakhpur Jal Nigam Launches Repair Drive On Diversion Routes For Upcoming Sewer Project, Eight Alternative Routes Identified

In a significant step toward improving sanitation in the city, Jal Nigam (Urban) will soon lay a sewer line from Humayunpur Tiraha to Gorakhnath Police Station via Jageshwar Pasi Chauraha using the trenchless method. Ahead of the project, traffic diversions will be enforced on eight major routes in the Gorakhnath area.

To ensure smooth movement on these alternative routes, Jal Nigam has started upgrading the identified roads. From Thursday, work began on strengthening the stretch from DP Jewellers to Digvijaynagar Janpriya Vihar Main Road, as well as the route from the SBI Customer Service Centre to Mandir Gate No. 2 via Digvijaynagar Road, Jamunia Bagh, and Zahidabad Road. Area councillor Rishi Mohan Verma was present during the inspection.
