Varanasi: Varanasi will soon get a drinking water plant at the historic Assighat, after which the people would be able to buy drinking water at 50 paise per litre.
A French company and sanitation NGO Sulabh International have joined hands to set up a drinking water plant in Varanasi. The plant would be established within the next three months.
"Through a new technology, the contaminated water of Ganga river will be converted into pure drinking water at a nominal cost." Sulabh founder Bindeshwar Pathak told IANS.
He said that Sulabh, along with French organisation '1001 Fontaines', launched a pilot project in three West Bengal districts of North 24-Parganas, Murshidabad and Nadia a few months ago and the trial run proved successful.
The plant is likely to cost Rs 20 lakh, an amount that would be borne by the Sulabh International.
