Union Minister and Gurgaon MP, Rao Inderjit Singh, has taken a strong stance against the release of untreated sewage in the open by societies in Manesar. During a recent meeting with officials of the Manesar municipal corporation, Singh urged them to file police complaints against developers who are found guilty of this offense. He also emphasized the need for similar action to be taken if irregularities are discovered in the rainwater harvesting systems.
The issue of untreated sewage discharge has become a major cause for concern in the new sectors of Manesar. Singh revealed that he had received numerous complaints regarding this matter. Previous inspections had revealed that many societies lacked functioning sewage treatment plants (STPs) or were entirely without them.
To address this problem, both the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the town and country planning department have established regulations that prohibit the discharge of untreated wastewater into the open. However, sources in the department have disclosed that approximately 35 newly developed sectors, ranging from 81 to 115 off Dwarka Expressway, have yet to connect their sewage lines with the master sewer lines of the Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA). These sectors contain nearly 175 residential societies as well as several unauthorized colonies, where residents have been expressing concerns about the environmental and health hazards posed by the untreated sewage discharge.
Singh, during his inspection of various projects undertaken by the civic body, highlighted the adverse impact of untreated sewage on the environment and groundwater. He firmly stated that societies engaged in such practices should face legal consequences, calling for the registration of First Information Reports (FIRs) against them.
In addition to addressing sewage-related issues, the minister also discussed other important matters with the officials. He reviewed the utilization of funds by panchayats recently merged with the corporation and emphasized the need for proper water supply, rainwater harvesting, and efficient collection of property tax. Furthermore, Singh directed the officials to consult with villagers before formulating any development plans for rural areas, underscoring the importance of community involvement.
Concerned about the depleting groundwater levels in the region, Singh emphasized the necessity of rainwater harvesting. He urged officials to ensure that all rainwater harvesting pits in residential societies are thoroughly inspected and cleaned before the onset of the monsoon season to maximize water conservation efforts. Additionally, Singh instructed the officials to address any complaints raised by residents regarding the functioning of these pits.
During the course of his visit, Singh inaugurated seven projects undertaken by the corporation, with a total worth of Rs 9.1 crore. These projects included the construction of Prajapati and Harijan chaupals in Manesar, as well as a road in Kasan. By actively participating in the inauguration of these projects, the minister demonstrated his commitment to the development and progress of the region.
Singh's strong stance against the release of untreated sewage and his emphasis on the importance of rainwater harvesting reflect his dedication to ensuring a clean and sustainable environment for the residents of Manesar. It is hoped that his directives will prompt necessary action and stricter adherence to regulations, leading to improved sewage management and the conservation of precious water resources in the region.
