Muzaffarpur Sewerage Project Incomplete; Firm Fined ₹17 Lakh, Deadline Extended

• Muzaffarpur Smart City's major sewerage project is incomplete and significantly delayed.
• The construction company was fined 17 lakh rupees for delays; total fines now 1.18 crore.
• The deadline for connecting homes to the sewerage line has been extended to March 2026.
• Only 2100 out of 8000 homes have been connected in 7 months, causing waterlogging issues.
• A completed Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) cannot be operational until homes are connected to the sewerage lines.

Why It Matters: Muzaffarpur's delayed sewerage project harms public health and wastes public funds.
