Bhopal recently experienced a setback in their efforts to check pollution in the Kshipra river. The nodal agency, formed by National Green Tribunal on April 20th, failed to submit their report by the July 13th deadline. This matter was brought to the attention of the green court during the hearing of the petition on Kshipra river pollution.
The NGT has given the nodal agency a one-month time limit to submit the report. In addition, the agency has included the collectors of Ratlam, Devas, Ujjain and Indore to the nodal agency. Even though the agency and the collectors will present separate reports, the NGT has requested an additional chief secretary to be present at the next meeting.
Sachin Dave, an environmentalist and petitioner at the hearing, made a call for the agency to submit their report on pollution in the Kshipra river as soon as possible. He is hopeful that this report will bring them one step closer to protecting the river from further pollution.
The National Green Tribunal and the nodal agency have the power to make a real difference in the Bhopal area and stop the pollution of the Kshipra river. With the support of the collectors and the additional chief secretary, the agency will be able to come up with a plan to protect the river and the environment.
