Lack of funds, delay in approvals hindering project
Work on an action plan to rejuvenate the polluted segments of the Kadambrayar, submitted about a year ago and approved by the River Rejuvenation Committee, has lagged behind with technical difficulties such as sanctions and funding holding up the works.
Revised plan
The revised plan prepared by the Kerala State Pollution Control Board was approved by the River Rejuvenation Committee in March last year and called for actions like surveillance to restrict dumping of waste into the river, facilities to contain seepage of leachate into the river, establishment of facilities for treating leachate, installation of CCTV cameras at places like Manakkakadavu and, in the long term, establishment of a proper solid waste treatment plant at Brahmapuram by the Kochi Corporation.

The National Green Tribunal has rapped the Uttar Pradesh government for not taking effective steps to control pollution in River Hindon, noting that damage from pollution is no less than the damage from other heinous crimes. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice A K Goel said repeated orders will not serve any purpose unless the administration takes ownership of its Constitutional obligation to the citizens. It is a matter of regret that the State authorities have failed to discharge their constitutional obligation of taking remedial measures in spite of attention of the highest authorities in the administration being drawn to the problem, the bench said.
