NOIDA: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) to take appropriate action to reduce pollution in storm water drains of Noida, after a plea was filed seeking direction to control pollution. The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) has also been directed to take necessary steps for reduction of water pollution.
According to the plea filed, the storm water drains flow in Yamuna and Hindon rivers. The drains are mostly clogged and choked due to dumping of polluting material including garbage, untreated sewage, etc. The water drains don’t have the requisite flow of water and they are also not duly maintained by cleaning,” the bench observed.
A bench headed by Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, NGT Chairperson also directed CEO, NOIDA, to be present before the tribunal on July 5, 2019.
