Haryana Pollution Board Fines Official for Waste Dumping in Kharkhara Village
The Haryana State Pollution Control Board fined the Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) of Dharuhera Rs 25,000 for open dumping of solid waste and discharging wastewater into a green belt in Kharkhara village, Rewari district. The board ordered the BDPO to pay the fine within seven days and directed the village sarpanch to stop wastewater discharge. The action followed a complaint by resident Prakash Yadav and an inspection on October 7. Non-compliance may lead to further legal action, with the issue pending before the National Green Tribunal.
