NGT issued notice to Yogi Govt. and UPSIDC on sewage disposal in Trans Delhi Signature City
A vacation bench of The National Green Tribunal (NGT) by Justice Dalip Singh has issued notices to the Yogi Adityanath government and the UP State Industrial Development Corporation (UPSIDC) and sought their reply in two weeks. On hearing a petition filed by the Trans Delhi Signature City Resident Welfare Association (RWA) seeking directions for the lack of sewage mechanism and disposal of solid municipal waste in Trans Delhi Signature City in Ghaziabad earlier known as Tronica City.
The integrated industrial township was planned in the 1990 to develop the industrial area in Loni Ghaziabad and to attract the untapped entrepreneurial skills of northeast Delhi. This area can be accessed from Delhi through Khajuri Pushta road and Sonia Vihar Pusta road from Wazirabad.
The petition said the respondents were citing the orders of the NGT passed in \”Maily Se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project\” whereby colonies upstream of the Yamuna were strictly forbidden from releasing wastewater and sewage in the river as the water flows towards Delhi and its water is used for drinking and this is the lifeline of Delhiites.
the petitioner RWA said that they have brought residential plots in a regularised and authorised township made by UPSIDC with certain promises and assurances. but there is no solid planning for the disposal of sewage and drainage in such authorised colony. UPSIDC should have to make a long-term plan to dispose the used water which includes sewage, industrial effluents or drainage water. Making of Sewage and Effluent Treatment Plants, laying of sewer pipelines and pumping stations are some of the basic responsibilities of the respondents.
