NGT Survey Finds Encroachments and Water Flow Issues in Bhoj Wetland Areas
A special committee conducting an NGT-directed survey of Bhoj Wetland in Bhopal found permanent structures, commercial establishments, roads, and soil dumping within or near the Kaliasot and Kerwa water-spread areas. The survey identified boundary markers being installed for land plotting and noted disrupted water flow due to bridge damage and debris dumping, complicating the establishment of Full Tank Levels (FTL). The Kerwa survey was deferred due to insufficient water levels, with the committee set to report findings to the NGT for further action.
