GMDA Warns of Sewage Connection Disconnections Over Non-Functional STPs in Gurugram
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has imposed penalties totaling around Rs 14 crore on premises with non-functional sewage treatment plants (STPs), recovering Rs 4 crore so far. GMDA CEO PC Meena warned that sewage connections of defaulting societies and colonies would be disconnected if STPs are not made operational within the stipulated period. The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) oversees compliance, with 33 premises in north Gurugram and eight in south Gurugram found non-compliant. Developers with outstanding dues may face restrictions on new project permissions.
