Visit of Hon’ble Member Sh Avinash Rai Khanna to Nanga near Octroi No 1

On 2-07-2009 at about 5 PM I paid a surprise visit to Nangal near Octroi No.1. The sewerage water without treatment was falling and the same was then being drained out in Satluj Canal near Village Barari Cremation Ground. This water is reportedly used for drinking purposes by the residents of villages situated on the banks of Satluj Canal. So while discharging this dirty water without treatment is reportedly causing so many problems. Mainly by drinking this polluted water, the diseases are spreading in the area.

Recommendation

I recommend that the Municipal Committee Nangal Township be asked to treat this water before discharging it in the Satluj Canal. The report published in the Tribune dated 30-6-2009 be taken up for consideration and the Government of Punjab is asked not to discharge the dirty water in the canals.

This report be treated as complaint.
