NGT Orders Sewage Mapping and Wetland Boundary Demarcation in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed Madhya Pradesh authorities to map sewage outfalls into Bhopal's lakes and rivers, aiming to prevent untreated sewage discharge by enhancing treatment capacity and infrastructure. The NGT highlighted that only about 32% of the state's sewage is treated, with significant pollution in 18 of 48 major rivers. It also ordered a fresh demarcation of Bhoj Wetland boundaries to address encroachments, emphasizing removal of illegal constructions within 50 meters of the wetland's full tank level.
