‘No water’ warning works as PMRDA revives defunct sewage treatment plant (STP)

Published by Webster

A year after it was flagged by the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA )’s defunct Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) has finally started functioning.

Pune citizens call off ‘Ram Nadi Satyagraha’ protest after PMRDA begins work

Published by Webster

A planned Pune citizens’ protest titled ‘Ram Nadi Satyagraha’— in which residents were set to stand inside Ramnadi at the point where nearly 70 per cent of the river’s sewage is discharged — was called off after the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) initiated on-ground work. The protest, scheduled for Friday, November 28, was organised in response to what residents described as long-standing administrative negligence. Despite repeated complaints, site inspections, and clear directives from the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Divisional Commissioner, untreated sewage has continued to flow unabated into Ramnadi.

Pic/Special Arrangement Speaking to mid-day, Advocate Krunnal Gharre, who led the agitation, said, “The agitation was cancelled after our meeting with PMRDA officials. They requested us not to stand in the sewage and assured immediate action. The work has begun from Thursday itself.” Gharre said residents were forced to announce a protest only after …
