that Sunday’s event was the beginning of a long-awaited development and revival of Arpa river in Bilaspur district.

He said that under the project, a 1.80-km ultra-modern four-lane road will be built from Indira Bridge to Shanichari Rapta on both the shores. This will help smoothen and systemize traffic.

Peripheral drains will be constructed on both sides of the road to prevent contamination of the river water. The waste water of the city will be channeled to a Sewerage Treatment Plant and later the clean water will be released into the river.
