Post-Kumbh, Kshipra ozonization to continue

Indore: With an aim to keep Kshipra water clean for devotees in the holy city Ujjain, the local administration is designing a proposal to continue ozonization process at Ram ghat and Sunheri ghat.
Ujjain Municipal Corporation had signed a month long contract for ozonization with a Gurgaon based Purab Logistics firm for Rs 9 crore. During Simhastha, ozonization plants were installed at Ramghat, Mangalnath, Gaughat, Sunheri Ghat and Lalpul.Out of these plants, the administration is planning to retain the plants at two ghats which cost around Rs 95 lakh per plant.
Asheesh Singh, additional commissioner, Ujjain Municipal Corporation said, "We are planning to continue the ozonization process to keep the river water clean. The maintenance and operations will be handled by the corporation."
Ozone plants convert the oxygen into ozone and dissolve it in river. Consequently, the ozone destroys the impurities of bio-waste, chemicals and germs.
