ESR flags major gaps in sewage treatment; Pashan STP failure puts PMC claims under scrutiny

Published by Parlour News

Even as the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) claims to treat a substantial share of the city’s sewage, its Environment Status Report (ESR) 2024–25 highlights major gaps in collection and treatment. The issue has come under renewed scrutiny after a sewage treatment plant (STP) near Pashan Lake failed, leading to untreated discharge and fish deaths. While PMC operates STPs with a combined capacity of 567 MLD and a sewage network exceeding 2,600 km, the report points to inefficiencies across the system.

Treatment capacity also stands at 64% of total sewage generated, reflecting inadequate infrastructure. Only the quality of treated sewage meets prescribed standards. These …

Published by Parlour News

The Kochi Corporation is racing against time to complete the sewage treatment project (STP) at Edakochi to prevent the possible lapse of Central funding for the project. The deadline for the ₹18.6-crore project, which is being implemented under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), is December 31. Failure to complete the project before the deadline will lead to a situation where the Corporation may lose the Central share of ₹7.75 crore. As of now, only 40% of the project is complete. The project had a delayed take-off following a series of public protests. It was after marathon discussions with stakeholders that the civic authorities succeeded in launching the project, officials said.

Road restoration works under the project will require around ₹6.5 crore, which will be met from the Central share. Funds for road repair had been transferred to the Corporation’s …

With single touch payroll, companies report employees’ payroll information directly to the government each time they run payroll. Read on to discover how single touch payroll works and what the benefits are. What is single touch payroll (STP)? Single touch is accomplished by using STP enabled software that automatically submits payroll reports to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) every time a business runs payroll.
