NEW DELHI: The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued a show-cause notice to a distillery operating in Karnal, over untreated waste being dumped in Yamuna in Haryana.

A joint inspection conducted by the pollution control board along with CSIR NEERI revealed the foul quality of the effluents being discharged in the river. The joint inspection was done to assess and identify the probable source of pollution of the river, in compliance with directions of a panel appointed by National Green Tribunal (NGT). 

As per the notice, it is clear that the unit is not following the zero liquid discharge (ZLD) standards and has discharged partially treated effluent to ditch drain, which eventually spoils the water quality of the river Yamuna.
