Track real-time data on polluted rivers: Haryana CM Khattar

Chandigarh, January 1

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has directed officials to set up online water quality monitoring stations at the district boundaries so that the real-time data of pollution in the rivers could be tracked.

Along with this, directions have also been given to prepare a detailed report from 2015 to 2021 so that the actual status of pollution in rivers could be known and measures to be taken to deal with it could be assessed.

The Chief Minister was presiding over the review meeting of the State Pollution Control Board here.

Khattar further said district-wise plans should be made to eliminate pollution in rivers and samples of rivers should be collected at the entry and exit points of every district from where the Ghaggar and Yamuna rivers flow so that, according to each district report, adequate measures could be taken accordingly. — TNS
