Kolkata: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) summoned the two major secretaries of the country through a virtual court process on September 28 with respect to water flowing back from the channel and Bagjola channels, flooded new cities, Salt Lake, and a large stretch along the VIP road.
.
The East Bench Ngt Justice B Amit Sthalekar, a Judicial member, and Saibal Gupta, an expert member, said they were “limited to observing” no step taken to stop the problem.
“The department of irrigation and waterways do not care for submitting a written statement, showing what action plans have been prepared to prevent disaster the previous week and this week …
People have fallen into the open hole …
the car has entered into a Lake …
The fear of the court has proven true and the colony has been flooded with dirt, dirt and ditch due to the backflow of the channel canal and bagjola “.
“I have submitted additional Affidavit, detailing encroachment on canal banks and pile of matters of garbage and bagjola,” said Amicus Curiae from the case and activist Subhas Datta.
The state told NGT that detailed project report (DPR) for reducing the Bagjola canal pollution was completed and the work order issued on January 10, 2020.
“There is nothing on the ground to show the results of these efforts,” NGT answered.
“We were surprised that Rs 1,400 Crore was needed to prepare detailed project reports (DPR) for 8 sewerage processing plants,” the court was observed.
On Friday, five days after heavy rain, several stretches and housing complexes in a new city close to the Bagjola canal still flooded.
NKDA and Hidco operate a lot of pumps as possible to remove water.
Some of the road to the edge canal near Sukhobristi housing was cut for water to flow out.
The situation in several other complexes near the Bagjola canal has increased slightly.
“The water level drops only a few inches but there is still deep water in several places,” said Souvik Bhattacharya, a resident of Elita Garden Vista.
NKDA has placed a sand bag on the edge of the canal to prevent the flow of water.
“We took all direct precautions.
We operate around 100 pumps in the new city area, which is still flooded.
Our engineers are on the road to monitor work and all drainage lines are thoroughly cleaned.
Water reservoir where storm water is being cleaned and filled Reset with fresh water.
Suburban canal banks have been cleaned to ensure the maximum release of storm water, “said an NKDA official.
