Jairam Kicks Off Buddha Nallah Clean-Up Project

The Rs 16-crore project will clean up waste water — while domestic sewage leads to 75-80 per cent of pollution, the remaining is caused by industries. The microbial consortia were put in the nallah at Haibowal Pulli point. More will be added in the coming days.

As per the Punjab Pollution Control Board, nearly 92 industrial units in the area have been issued closure notices for polluting the nallah. However, there was still no decision regarding the rest of the units discharging effluents into the nallah through the Municipal Corporation sewer. Read the full report here.
