The Jal Nigam (Urban) has prepared a comprehensive project proposal to strengthen the drinking water system of the city area. Under the plan, purified water from the Ganges will be delivered to all the 25 wards of the city through pipelines.

Once the proposal is approved, the construction work will be started. As per the plan, the water from the Ganges River will be lifted through the intake well to be built at the proposed Srirampur Ghat. About one acre of land is being sought for this. However, land has not been made available for this yet, as permission is awaited from the Irrigation Department. After this, the water will be purified by transporting the purified water to the treatment plant and from there to various areas of the city. Under the project, a water purification plant of about one and a half million litres per day (MLD) water will be set up in the Jamui area.

Uterine Fibroids: Common Condition, Not Necessarily Cancerous

The doctor has said that there is a lump in the uterus. Most women get scared on hearing this. The first question that comes to mind is, is it not cancer? Will the uterus have to be removed? Will it be difficult to become a mother now? These questions have been answered by doctors. Doctors have also told about when the lump in the uterus needs an operation and when it is cured with medicines. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), by the age of 50, 70-80% women may develop uterine fibroids at some time, although many of these women never feel any symptoms. This is why this disease often appears suddenly on ultrasound.
