Haryana Officials Crack Down on Water Pollution

A committee from the Haryana Vidhan Sabha has mandated that no untreated sewage or industrial effluent will be discharged into the Yamuna canal or any other water body. This directive was issued during an inspection of projects in the Yamunanagar-Jagadhri twin city, led by MLA Laxman Singh Yadav. The committee stressed the critical link between environmental protection and public health.

During a review meeting with senior officials, the committee sought detailed information on sewage treatment plants (STPs), solid waste management, and industrial wastewater disposal. They instructed officials to complete all pending work and strictly follow environmental norms. Inspections covered the Kail Solid Waste Management Plant and the Saraswati Sugar Mill STP, with clear directions for complete treatment of industrial effluent.
