NGT team expressed unhappiness over the working of the treatment plants
Strict warning given to the industries and officials that
spread pollution
Monitoring Committee formed on the orders of National Green
Tribunal, expressing dissatisfaction over the working of the sewrage treatment
plants warned the careless officials for strict action. Samples of the
poisonous waters of the sewrage treatment plants and factories that are falling
in Kala Sangian drain were taken under the leadership of the Chairman Justice
Pritam Pal of this team. Environment lover Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal and
Punjab Pollution Control Board Ex. member Sec. Babu Ram were also present in
the NGT team. They also warned the pollution spreading industries that if they
will not change a strict action will be taken against them and their industries
will be recommended for closure.
Justice Pritam Pal was astonished over non-existence of treatment
plant for treating the contaminated waters of the factories established at
focal point and said that it's matter of great regret that this whole water
without treatment is being put in the Kala Sangian drain. On checking the
treatment plant of Milk Plant it was found that the solid waste at the plant
was not being treated according to fixed measures. Justice Pritam Pal said that
the careless officials will have to pay the fine amount from their pockets.
The people opposing the treatment plant being built at
Gadaipur made a appeal to Justice Pritam Pal and environment lover Sant Balbir
Singh Seechewal that the treatment plant in this area should not be installed
as their three villages of this are already suffering from the curse of
pollution. They expressed their fear that due to installation of the treatment
plant the water of their area will become more poisonous. Justice Pritam Pal
asked the DC Varinder Kumar Sharma to arrange a meeting of the concerned
officials with these people and to solve their problem. He said that after the
next meeting of the Supervising committee on 24th May at Chandigarh the report
will be sent to NGT. On this occasion Punjab pollution control board Chief
Engineer G.S Majithia SE Harveer Singh and other officials were also present.
