More than 50 crore people have already taken baths in Maha Kumbh, but there is no sign of any kind of disease spreading in Maha Kumbh yet. This figure is more than the combined population of America and Russia. The country's Science Minister attributed this to the miracle of nuclear technology. Union Science Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said that 'more than 50 crore devotees have already come to Maha Kumbh and yet there is no sign of any problem related to cleanliness or threat of epidemic.' He took a bath in Sangam on Sunday.
The wonder of nuclear technology
The Union Minister said that this is a big thing and this unique achievement has been possible due to sewage treatment plants based on nuclear technology. These plants have been established by the Bhabha Atomic Research Center located in Mumbai and the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research located in Kalpakkam. Both these institutes are associated with the Department of Atomic Energy. Let us tell you that a sewage treatment system based on Hybrid Granular Sequencing Batch Reactor or hgSBR technology has been deployed in Maha Kumbh. These plants use microorganisms to clean dirty water and are often called fecal sludge treatment plants. This technology has been researched and developed by Dr. Venkat Nancharaya posted in the Department of Atomic Energy.
These plants located on the banks of the river Ganga can treat about 1.5 lakh liters of sewage per day at the Maha Kumbh site. The special thing about this technology is that it requires less land, less infrastructure, and less operational cost. The operational cost of this technology can be reduced by 30-60 percent.
One and a half lakh toilets were built at the fair site
Due to the arrival of crores of people in the Maha Kumbh and open defecation and dirty water, there were incidents of spread of diseases like cholera and diarrhea, but this year the Uttar Pradesh government has built 1.5 lakh toilets at the fair site. 11 permanent sewage treatment plants and three temporary plants have been installed at the fair site. The supply of clean drinking water is being ensured by more than 200 machines.
