National Green Tribunal sets deadline for Musi river cleanup

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The National Green Tribunal has told the state government and respective civic agencies to ensure that 100 per cent of the sewage entering the Musi river is treated by March 31, 2020. Water quality is not even fit for irrigation as per water quality criteria of CPCB as per reports of samples of water.” Sewerage treatment is vital to the abatement of pollution in the Musi as a total of about 1,400 MLD of sewerage is discharged into the catchment area of the river from either of the banks through nalas. The NGT based its order on a report published by the Central Pollution Control Board in August this year which had noted that there are 24 STPs in and around the Musi River. Around 51 per cent of untreated sewage is thus discharged into the River Musi directly or through drains.
