Question: gomti action plan? 

Answer: Under this component, pollution abatement works are being taken up along the Gomti river in Lucknow, Sultanpur and jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. About 269 mld of sewage is targeted to be intercepted, diverted and treated under this action plan.\n\n\nOut of the project outlay of Rs. 58.11 crore, an amount of Rs. 7.21 crore has been released by the GoAP. Subsequent to the CCEA’s(Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs) approval in 1993, the Gomti Action Plan was posed to the UK Govt. for funding. \n\n     The UK Govt. agreed to fund pollution abatement works in lucknow town only, in two phases. The first phase comprising certain emergency works and the master plan preparation, was completed in March, 1999. However, the Govt. of UK delayed the decision for funding the main action programme (under the Second Phase of its project) and finnaly in August, 1997 refused to fund it.  \n\n     Thus, work under the major component of Gomti Action Plan (out of the total CCEA provision of Rs 58.11 crore for schemes implementation under GoAP, about Rs 50 crore is for Lucknow) could not be started even four years after the approval of the CCEA. Subsequently, the Govt. of UP submitted revised cost estimates for Rs. 237.40 crore, far in excess of the originally approved outlay. \n\n    The reason for UK govt's refusal to sanction the money is unkown. Hope this information is sufficient for your question.
