Foundation for the City’s Future
Congratulating the residents of Rajnandgaon, the Chief Minister said the foundation-laying ceremony marks not only the start of development works but also the beginning of a strong foundation for the city’s future.

Sewerage Plants and Urban Infrastructure
Under the AMRUT Mission 2.0, two new sewage treatment plants will be established in the city to scientifically treat domestic wastewater. This will prevent untreated water from flowing into rivers and drains, helping protect the environment and public health.

The Chief Minister said the auditorium will offer local artists, writers, and youth greater opportunities to showcase their talents and will become a new identity for the city.
The development works also include the upgradation of the transport city area, construction of drains, expansion of pipelines, and strengthening of basic infrastructure across all 51 wards of the city.
Focus on Cleanliness and Waste Management
Under the Swachh Bharat Mission, new waste management facilities will also be installed to strengthen the city’s sanitation system. The Chief Minister said the aim is not only to participate in cleanliness surveys but to position Rajnandgaon among the leading clean cities in the country.
