Telangana Hyderabad - Durgam Cheruvu Lake pollution : What's the Action from Govt?
Dead fish were seen floating in the Durgam Cheruvu lake as a result of pollution and sewage, therefore the HC gave the state a two-week notice to provide its action plan for the lake's repair.
The court recently formed an expert team, led by NEERI's Atul Narayan Vaidya, to look into Durgam Cheruvu's deterioration and suggest practical restoration strategies.
The court then asked the committee to make sure the measures were carried out in practice.
Aside from desilting the lake, the court has also highlighted growing encroachments on the Durgam Cheruvu Lake's buffer zones and whole tank level and has ordered answers about how to remove them.
The court once more voiced its displeasure with the PCB's operations and threatened to take legal action against it should it fail to take the required steps to restore the Durgam Cheruvu lake.
On march 11, the matter will now be heard.
