Haryana Minister Warns Dhabas on Water Reuse

Haryana's environment minister, Rao Narbir Singh, has issued a stern directive to dhaba operators along the Grand Trunk (GT) Road, with a specific focus on the Murthal area. Operators are now required to strictly adhere to guidelines set forth by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) concerning environmental protection.

A key mandate requires all dhabas to install sewage treatment plants (STP) or common treatment plants (CTP). This measure is aimed at ensuring significant water conservation and promoting the reuse of water resources, a critical step towards environmental sustainability.

The minister also stressed that dhabas operating without the necessary Change of Land Use (CLU) permission must finalize all documentation related to municipal taxes and other statutory dues. For those with approved CLU, adherence to Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) norms is crucial.

Operators were informed that penalties are calculated based on construction dates if closure orders are issued during inspections. The minister urged timely compliance to avoid such actions, appealing for voluntary adoption of eco-friendly practices. The goal is to make Murthal a clean, safe, and environmentally sustainable region.
