Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the water treatment plant project under implementation in Narayanganj is progressing rapidly and will be fully completed within one year. Once operational, the project will enable the supply of 5 billion liters of safe water daily to Dhaka city. He made the remarks after visiting the Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project (DESWSP) site in Gandharbpur, Rupganj, Narayanganj.
According to the minister, about 97 percent of the main treatment plant and related infrastructure has already been completed. The project, costing around Tk 10,000 crore, aims to significantly reduce Dhaka’s dependence on groundwater. He added that after the first phase, another project is planned to supply an additional 5 billion liters of water daily, bringing the total to 10 billion liters of surface water per day.
Project officials stated that approximately 4.3 million people will directly benefit from the initiative, which will also help mitigate pollution risks from the Shitalakkhya River and ensure long-term, environmentally sustainable water management for Dhaka.
