Preparation of City development Plan (CDP) for Meerut
in the state of Uttar Pradesh under JNNURM
City Development Plan
Final Report
• Large part of City depends on ground water leading to over exploitation of Ground
water.
• Inadequate storage capacity
• Lack of treatment facilities as ground water is used for supply for drinking purpose.
• The gross average per capita supply in the city is 175 lpcd. At the same time ward
numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 23, 30, 40, 44, 48, 66 and 70 are partially covered and ward
no. 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 19, 28, 31 are yet to be covered therefore there is high
inequality in distribution of water.
• Contamination of water due to cracks in old service connections.
• The transmission and distribution losses accounts for 20-25% of the total supply.
Sewerage
• The existing network needs to be extensive rehabilitation.
• At various places the existing sewer lines are damaged resulting in falling sludge into
existing nalas.
• Replacement of a part of the network is required due to hydraulic inadequacy at the
forecast flow regime, provision has been made accordingly.
• Untreated sewerage disposal is a critical area.
• Mixing of sewerage with storm water drain.
• The current sewerage system does not serve a substantially large proportion of the
population
Drainage
• Poor maintenance, weed growth and blockages on the Nalas lead to flooding,
hygienic and filthy living conditions during rainy season in low lying areas.
• Mixing up of the sewerage into Nalas increases the vulnerability to various health
hazards.
• Disposal of solid waste into Nalas is a poor practice.
• Many nalas in the City are under severe dilapidated condition.
Solid Waste
• Method of disposal is not scientific disposal of bio-medical waste
• Inadequate capacity collection system of solid waste
• Present sites for waste disposal totally exhausted.
• Segregation of solid waste and recycling not managed adequately.
• Bio Medical Waste
• Waste is not properly segregated at source
• No special precautionary measures are taken during collection and transportation
• Treatment and Disposal
• No health center treat their waste before disposal
• At few center needle shredder is used
• Common disposal technique:
• Open burning of dressing materials without any treatment
• Deep burial of anatomical wastes
• Dumping/placing the waste into the municipal bins
• Subharti Hospital has incinerator but it is rarely operational.
Roads and Road Transport
• Lack of public transport, encourages use of personalize vehicle resulting in
congestion, socio-economic and environmental problems.
• Lack of proper designated parking facilities encourages haphazard on-street parking
hampering smooth flow of vehicle on major road.
• Lack of footpath and pedestrian facilities increases the vulnerability of pedestrian in
terms of their road safety
