Ref:- Hon’ble NGT Orders dated 20th September, 2018 and 19th December, 2018, Original Application No. 673/2018.

A) Introduction:-

Jammu and Kashmir, also referred as the crown of the country, is situated at the northern most extremity of India between 32.150 and 37.050 North latitude and 72.350 and 83.200 East longitude, having an area of 2,22,236 Sq. Kms. The State is divided into three geographical regions, namely; Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, having a population of 1,25,48,926 ( as per census 2011). All the three areas differ from region to region and show

1 Jammu and Kashmir with Water Bodies and other boundaries varied cultures, climate, soil, flora and fauna and also the way of life is different on account of climatic and other meteorological factors.

The name, fame and glory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir is attributed to its topography, climatic conditions and natural beauty. The State is enriched with wetlands and water bodies which are of world fame and prominent among these are Ramsar Sites viz Hokarsar lake, Mansar lake, Surinsar lake, Wular lake and Tso Moriri lake , which are of great ecological importance too. Other important lakes and wetlands in the state are: - Dal lake, Nigeen lake, Anchar lake, Gharana wetland etc. Besides these some important rivers such as Tawi, Chenab, Basanter, Ujh , Devak, Ravi etc. flow in the Jammu region and River Jhelum, Lidder, Dudhganga, Sukhnag, Sindh etc. are famous rivers of the Kashmir region.

The State is famous for its crystal clear water bodies, lofty mountains, spring fed meadows and alpine forests. However, the most fascinating character that nature has gifted is its innumerable freshwater bodies (lakes, wetlands, ponds, rivers, springs and streams) which are not only important for the ecological, socio-economic and cultural heritage of the state but also serve as a primary source for the up-liftment of local economy as there are many Hydel Power Projects on these water bodies. Most of these water bodies are major tourist attraction sites.

The State Pollution Control Board, having its mandate under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, has taken a step forward by monitoring the water quality of these water bodies so as to determine the water quality status and level of pollution loads. Based on the basic data generation for different water bodies across the State, the Central Pollution Control Board has sanctioned 27 monitoring sites for different water bodies in Jammu region, 47 monitoring sites in Kashmir region and 08 in Ladakh

2 region under National Water Monitoring Program (NWMP) during the year 2010-11. The monitored data is being regularly submitted to Central Pollution Control Board as per the guidelines of NWMP.

B) Monitoring and Identification of Polluted Stretches. i) Background:-

On the basis of monitoring and data submission to CPCB through EWQDES (Environmental Water Quality Data Entry System) under National Water Monitoring Program during the period 2016-17, the CPCB has identified 351 Polluted River stretches in 2018, falling in the range of Priority I to Priority V, including nine (09) polluted stretches of different rivers in Jammu and Kashmir. Among these nine stretches, five (05) Polluted stretches on different rivers are in the Jammu region and four (04) have been identified in the Kashmir region.

ii) CPCB Criteria for Priority/Category:

Based on pollution load as per BOD level assessed, the criteria for Priority / Category is as below:-

S.No. Criteria for Priority/Category Monitoring location with BOD values 1 I Exceeding 30mg/l 2 II 20-30 mg/l

3 III 10-20 mg/l 4 IV 6-10 mg/l 5 V 3-6 mg/l

C) NGT Directions:- i) In reference to Hon’ble NGT Judgement dated 20th Sept. 2018 in the matter of O.A No.673/2018, regarding rejuvenation of Polluted River Stretches, 351 locations have been identified as polluted river stretches across the country based on pollution load. As per the NGT order for River 3

Stretches Restoration of Water Quality (State wise and Priority wise), action plan has been sought for making the river polluted stretches fit for bathing purpose (i.e , BOD < 3mg/l ), with in a period six months after finalization of action plan.

Polluted river stretches (09 No.) identified in the state are:-

ii) As per the directions of Hon’ble NGT dated 19th Dec. 2018 in O.A Nos. 673/2018 & 727/2018, the revised Action Plan is to be submitted by 31st of January 2019 after complying with the deficiencies.

D) Revised Proposed Action Plan for river stretches of Jammu Region:-

Polluted River stretches identified on different rivers in Jammu region and river wise action required for restoration of water quality to the level fit for bathing purpose are:-

Map of Jammu Region showing Rivers under reference.

1) River Devika:- Revised Action Plan (Ref. CPCB letter No. 14011/1/2019-WQM-I/5093 dt. 10.01.2019

Stretch identified:- Guru Ravi Dass Temple to Nainsu at Udhampur (5.0 Km), Priority -II.

River Devika, a tributary of River Basanter, originates from Sudh Mahadev near Chenani, also called as Gupt-Ganga and known for its religious importance and sanctity. At many places it goes under-ground. In Udhampur, it flows in the form of a small stream fed by water from many bowlies (natural springs) such as Rahmti Mohalla Bowli, Gandari bowli etc. The sewage and waste water from major of establishments of Udhampur town and its adjoining areas is also discharged untreated into the river. The State Pollution Control Board is regularly monitoring the water quality of Devika river near Shiv Mandir Udhampur on quarterly basis under NWMP. The polluted stretch up to the distance of 5 Km has been identified as per Hon’ble NGT Order dated 20th September, 2018 in Priority-II as per CPCB criteria for priority/categorisation based on BOD load in the range of 20-30 mg/l. In the stretch of river Devika from Guru Ravi Dass temple to Nainsu at Udhampur, the level of BOD has been recorded during the period 2016-17 in the range of 3.4-22 mg/l. Thus, this stretch of river Devika has been categorised in Priority-II.

6 Polluted Stretch of River Devika from Guru Ravi Dass Temple to Nainsu at Udhampur 1. a) Causes of Pollution:-

The water quality of this stretch of river Devika gets deteriorated due to discharging of un-treated sewage from nearby localities / establishments. There are 17 nos. main sewage drains along both the sides of river Devika in Udhampur town from Rahmti Mohalla Bowli to Nainsu Bridge, which discharge untreated sewage directly into Devika. Out of these 17 drains, 12 main drains from residential mohallas discharge untreated sewage in the identified polluted stretch from Guru Ravi Dass Temple to Nainsu. The details of physico-chemical characteristics of the sewage from these important main drains evaluated during the year 2015 is given as below :-

The Industrial Estate Battal Ballian in Udhampur town is situated away from Devika river catchment area and the Industrial effluents are not adding to the pollution load in river Devika.

Udhampur town is Municipal Council with population 52357 generating 32 MT/D quantum of MSW. Presently, there is 100% gap w.r.t. sewage management and municipal solid waste management for the habitation existing within the municipal limits of Udhampur town and the areas adjoining polluted stretch of river Devika. Based on the details available with Public Health Engineering Department (Public Water Supply Department) no case of ground water contamination has been reported and 7 the drinking water is provided to the general public after tapping from natural springs and river Tawi after basic conventional treatment along with two bore wells / tube wells being operated by PHE deptt. Besides this, other reason for deterioration of the water quality of Devika is unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste along the river.

1. b) Action Plan Proposed:- For rejuvenation and pollution abatement of holy rivers Devika and Tawi at Udhampur town, the MoEFCC, Govt. of India, has recently approved and sanctioned the project under National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) with an estimated cost of Rs. 186.74 Crore vide F. No. J-27023/1/2016- NRCD-II dated 28-09-2018 for the financial year 2018-19, out of which the share of Govt. of India is to the tune of Rs. 168.66 Crore. The following are the pollution mitigation measures for the holy Devika river which have been sanctioned / proposed which includes 100% connections to sewer network while implementing the NRCP project with the provisions made in the bye-laws to enforce compulsory sewer connections and user charges on the beneficiaries in the project area.

2) River Banganga (Revised Action Plan) :-

Stretch identified:- Pony Shed to Bathing Ghat, Banganga (3.0 Km), Priority -III.

The holy stream of Banganga is in Katra town of Reasi District, in Jammu Division. Katra is situated at the foothills of holy shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi at a distance of about 50 kms north of Jammu. Katra is known world over for its sanctity and supreme reverence, and about 1 Crore people

Polluted stretch from Pony Shed to Bathing Ghat at Banganga, Katra 11 visit it annually to take part in the pilgrimage to the shrine of Vaishno Devi.

The Katra town with an original population of 1500 inhabitants, has now been transformed into a thickly populated large town with brisk business, tourist activity, new hotels with modern facilities, hospitals, bus stand, railway station with modern set-up and facilities, over a dozen schools, private and government offices, pony sheds, dharamshalas and surrounding villages which have merged fast into a big town. Banganga is considered as the most sacred and holy stream by the pilgrims who visit Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine every year. They take a holy dip in this stream after performing the holy darshan. The river Banganga (a tributary of river Chenab) originates from Trikuta hills as a spring near Gita mandir. State Pollution Control Board is conducting the regular water quality monitoring of this holy stream at two (02) NWMP sanctioned locations i.e (i) Bathing ghat at Banganga and (ii) below Reasi bridge. The polluted stretch of category-III from Pony Shed to bathing ghat at Katra, just downstream to the NWMP monitoring location has been identified for rejuvenation.

2. a) Causes of Pollution:

The water quality of this stretch of Banganga, from Pony Shed to Bathing Ghat at Katra, was polluted due to many factors, such as : -

 Untreated Solid and liquid waste disposal from Pony sheds.  Un-treated sewage from nearby localities / establishments.  Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste.  Sewage pollution from minor / major establishments.

2. b) Action Plan Proposed:-

Action Plan proposed for mitigating the pollution load on this polluted stretch of holy stream Banganga in a specific and required time frame by different implementation agencies, is as below :-

(i) Untreated Solid and liquid waste disposal from Pony sheds :-

There are around 3000 ponies registered with the Notified Area Committee, Katra. It is estimated that about 50% ponies / horses stay overnight at Bhawan and others at pony shed at Banganga (0 Km of track). Pony sheds have been set up from Banganga to Reasi bridge as a result of which the solid / liquid waste is being discharged untreated directly or indirectly into the holy Banganga stream.

Responsible agency and S.No. Action Points time frame for implementation i) Establishment of suitable i-ii) Chief Executive Officer Shri identified sites for Ponies Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine /Mules for their shelter. Board, Katra. Time frame:- Within six to ii) Dumping site for solid waste twelve months. generated from pony sheds and its scientific disposal.

iii) Establishment of treatment iii) Connectivity with the facility for liquid waste from proposed STPs by UEED to Pony sheds. handle liquid waste from Pony Sheds.

(ii) Un-treated sewage from nearby localities :-

Katra town has its local population in thousands; where as its floating population goes up to lacs during peak season of pilgrimage. Due to its floating population, there is hectic tourist activity, brisk business in hotels / restaurants / dhabas and extensive use of transport facilities via road-ways and railways. A big quantum of solid and liquid waste is generated during this peak season which is the main cause of pollution in Banganga, as the same is being discharged into it without any treatment facility at site by respective establishments.

Responsible agency and time S.No. Action Points frame for implementation. i) Setting up of Sewage Treatment i) The Chief Engineer, Plants (STPs) of latest Technology, UEED, Jammu is the of requisite capacity as per responsible agency to install requirement of each concern. the STPs of latest technology UEED has proposed establishment and of required capacity. of (02 STPs) at which shall be sufficient to cater the treatment of Time frame:- Within twelve total sewage generated:- to twenty four months, after  Katra Basement in between sanction, as per feasibility Gita Mandir & Banganga. report for pollution Capacity = 1.10 MLD abatement of river Banganga  Down Stream bathing ghat, at Katra (Approximate project common for sewage from cost of Rs. 98.7 crore) to be Katra town and other local submitted under NRCP to establishments / JKTDC etc, GoI, MoEF&CC. Capacity = 3.50 MLD

(iii) Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste:-

Municipal solid waste generated from different sources is mostly not collected, segregated, transported and disposed of as per Municipal Solid Waste Rules -2016. It has been noticed that MSW is mainly seen in the shape of big heaps and dumps in Katra town, road side and even at slopes on on-way to Bhawan, which ultimately contribute to the pollution in Banganga.

3) River Tawi (Revised Action Plan) :-

Stretch identified:- Surajpur to Belicharana, River Tawi at Jammu (5.0 Km), Priority -IV.

River Tawi , an important tributary of river Chenab, also named as Surya Putri , is the life line of Jammu city. It originates from southern part of lesser Himalayan hills (Bhaderwah Dudu hills) and is joined by a number of tributaries on its way. After flowing through Patangarh, Chenani, Udhampur, Jindrah, Nagrota, Jammu city, Belicharana, Surajpur and Makwal, it ultimately merges with river Chenab near Marala in Pakistan. This river receives untreated sewage and waste water from majority of establishments on the way. The State Pollution Control Board is regularly conducting the monitoring of this river at seven NWMP sanctioned locations:- (i) Sheetali (ii) Bagh-e-bahu lifting point (iii) Below Tawi bridge, Jammu (iv) Bhaghwati Nagar (v) Belicharana (vi) Suraj Pur (vii) Khepar at R.S. Pura.

On the basis of data submitted during the period 2016-17, the polluted stretch identified is downstream to Tawi bridge NWMP sanctioned location, which ranges from Surajpur to Belicharana on River Tawi at Jammu and it does not meet the standard norms of classification of streams under Designated Best Use (DBU). The untreated sewage from city finds its entry into river Tawi through 18 different nallahs / drains along both side of banks of river.

Monitoring locations under NWMP at selected points on River Tawi at Jammu.

Polluted Stretch from Surajpur to Belicharana on River Tawi, Jammu.

3. a) Causes of Pollution:

There is no industrial waste adding to the pollution load of Tawi river as neither any Industrial estate nor any Industrial unit operated along the banks of river Tawi within Jammu district. The water quality of polluted stretch identified on river Tawi, from location Surajpur to Belicharana is polluted due to many other reasons and the main causes of pollution in river Tawi are :-

 Disposal of untreated Sewage Waste from Jammu city.  Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste.  Dumping of Construction and Demolition Waste.  Pollution from minor / major establishments.

2. b) Action Plan Proposed:-

Action Plan proposed for mitigation of the pollution load on this polluted stretch of River Tawi at Jammu in a required time frame by responsible implementation agencies are as follows :-

i) Disposal of untreated Sewage Waste from Jammu city :

Jammu city is the winter capital of the State having about 6.0 lac population under Jammu municipal limit area, whereas, there is a floating population of additional 1.5-2.0 lac, due to pilgrimage, for tourism destinations and the bi-annual Secretariat darbar move. The floating population, hectic tourist activity, visiting pilgrims, industrial area at Bari Brahmna / brisk business by hotels / restaurants / dhabas and use of transport facilities via roadways, railways, airways, education sector (Universities, Colleges, Schools), Private and government offices , dharamshalas and surrounding localities contribute considerably to the pollution load.

The Sewage to the tune of 75 MLD generated by Jammu City is the main cause of pollution in River Tawi at Jammu, which is mainly discharged into it without treatment. There are 13 nallahs / main drains falling on right bank of river Tawi (D/S) and 5 nallahs / drains falling along the left bank of river Tawi, as given below :-

S.No. Nallahs/drains at Right bank of Nallahs/drains at Left bank of River River Tawi (D/S) Tawi (D/S)

1 Cremation Ground Jogi Gate drain Rajiv Nagar drain

2 Qasim Nagar drain Gladni locality drain

3 Nowabad Police station Jewel drain University drain

4 Near Sher-e-Kashmir bridge drain Gorkha Nagar locality drain

5 Jullaka Mohalla drain Warehouse Mohalla drain

6 Residency road Mohalla drain

7 Fisheries deptt. back side drain

8 Ustad Mohalla drain

9 Pacci Dacci drain

10 Peer Mitha Mohalla drain

11 Subash Nagar drain

12 Old University, Krishna Nagar mohalla drain

13 Talab tillo locality drain

The sewage characteristics of majority of these drains conducted during the year 2007-08 and onwards, as per physico-chemical analysis ranges from with pH ranging from 7.10 – 7.96, BOD 38 – 121 mg/ltr, TSS 210 – 514 mg/ltr, having light blackish to greenish black colour with foul unpleasant odour.

Taking an account on gap analysis on sewage generation and treatment, only a fraction of the total sewage waste is being treated at Bhagwati Nagar in two operational Sewage Treatment Plants (Capacity 10 MLD and 30 MLD). Both of these treatment plants are not being used to their full capacity due to non-connectivity of sewerage pipelines with requisite households by the concern agency.

S. Responsible agency and time Action Points No. frame for implementation. 1. i) STPs at Bhaghwati nagar for Chief Engineer, UEED, Jammu sewage waste from the areas is the responsible agency to:- to R.H.S (D/S) of River Tawi:- Functional Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs):-  10 MLD cap.

Capacity = 164 KLD

(ii) Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste:- About 380 MT/D, Municipal Solid Waste is being generated from Jammu Municipal limits which was earlier dumped at the bank of river Tawi at Bhagwati Nagar, but presently, the dumping at this site has been stopped due to directions of Hon’ble High Court of J&K, issued on the basis of response status submitted by J&K, SPCB in the PIL titled “Rajinder Singh v/s State Pollution Control Board and Others”. Presently, the dumping of MSW is being done at another site namely at Kot Bhalwal, feasible as per MSW- Rules 2016. It has been noticed that MSW is another main cause of pollution in River Tawi due to its leachate and un-scientific handling/disposal. Big heaps and dumps of MSW near Sidhra, Tawi bridge, Pacci daki, Julaka mohalla, Pir-Mitha, Pirkho , back side of G.G.M Science college near fisheries Deptt. etc. ultimately contribute to pollution in River Tawi. 23

4) River Basanter (Revised Action Plan):-

Stretch identified:- Samba to Chak Manga Rakwal, adjoining IGC Samba (5.0 Km), Priority -V.

River Basanter, an important river, has its origin from middle Himalayas and its main tributary is River Devika. It culminates in Pakistan after passing through Sumb, Samba, Chak Manga, Tanda, Rakhwal, Madhera and Burj Manpur. This river receives sewage and waste water from majority of establishments. The State Pollution Control Board is regularly monitoring the river at two NWMP sanctioned locations:- (i) below Bridge at Samba (ii) at Chak Manga.

On the basis of data submitted during the period 2016-17, the polluted stretch identified is downstream to Basanter bridge adjacent to National highway and Chak Manga, Rakwal, adjoining IGC, Samba. It has been observed that there are three main sewage drains discharging the untreated sewage of Samba town in River Basanter besides the discharge of treated and untreated industrial liquid waste into this river, thus it does not meet the standard norms of classification of streams under DBU (Designated Best Use).

Polluted stretch from Samba to Chak Manga Rakwal, adjoining IGC Samba

4. a) Causes of Pollution:

The water quality of this stretch of river Basanter from location Samba to Chak Manga Rakwal, adjoining IGC Samba on River Basanter got polluted due to many factors such as :-

 Disposal of untreated sewage Waste from Samba Town and nearby localities.  Effluents from industries in IGC-Samba.  Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste.  Dumping of Construction and Demolition waste.  Pollution from minor / major establishments.

4. b) Action Plan Proposed:- The polluted stretch of river Basanter is situated adjacent to the Industrial Growth Centre (IGC) Samba having 240 no. small and medium scale units (Red category 33, Orange category 97, Green category/White 110) which include cement units (04 nos.), Bulk drug (01 no.), Paint/Dye/chemical (05 Nos.), Lead Extraction/Battery units (11 nos.), pesticide formulation (16 nos.) including some other units like metal extraction etc. Action proposed for mitigating the pollution load in this polluted stretch of River Basanter at Samba is required to be implemented in time frame by responsible implementation agencies which are as:-

(i) Disposal of untreated sewage waste from Samba town and nearby localities.

Samba town is located on National highway having a population of about 1.00 lac persons. The untreated sewage through three main sewage drains from Samba town is one of the causes of water pollution load in the river Basanter. Besides this, treated / untreated industrial effluent also adds

28 to the pollution load of the river. The physico-chemical characteristics of these drains conducted during October 2018, is given as below :-

S. No. Parameter Drain1 Drain2 Drain3 (SIDCO Sewage (Near Station (Near Railway Drain backside of Shamshan Ghat (u/s bridge/police post) Hotel Rex) National Highway bridge) 1.

Similarly, the ground water monitoring was conducted during the period under reference on ascertaining the physico-chemical characteristics of 11 no. Tubewells / borewells, the results of which reveal that the level of main parameters (BOD, COD, Nitrate) are within the desirable limits except for the colour appearance as pale yellow in case of two locations.

As on date, neither any Common Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP) has been established for the sewage generated from Samba town, nor any Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) has been established by Deptt. of Industries (SIDCO) for industries established in IGC Samba since inception.

Action points proposed to mitigate the pollution load for the identified stretch of river Basanter are as under:-

5) River Chenab (Revised Action Plan) :-

Stretch identified:- Jal Patan (Jio Pota) to Pargwal at Akhnoor (12.0 Km), Priority -V.

River Chenab is an important tributary of river Indus which flows through Western Himalayas. The river flows along the northern base of Pir Panjal range before entering Doda area of J&K from Himachal Pradesh. There after, the river Chenab flows through Ramban, Reasi, Akhnoor and ultimately

33 enters Pakistan. This river is of great importance as majority of Hydel Power Projects have been established on this river. The river receives sewage and waste water from most of the establishments on the way at many locations and its adjoining areas. State Pollution Control Board is regularly conducting the monitoring on this river at five NWMP sanctioned locations.

On the basis of data submitted during the period 2016-17, the polluted stretch identified is downstream to Akhnoor Bridge NWMP sanctioned location, which ranges from Jai Patan (actually Jio Pota ) to Pargwal for a stretch of 12 Km at Akhnoor and does not meet the standard norms of classification of streams under DBU (Designated Best Use). However, there is neither any industrial estate nor any industrial activity along the area of polluted stretch of this river.

34 Polluted Stretch on River Chenab from Jal Patan (Jio Pota) to Pargwal at Akhnoor 5. a) Causes of Pollution:

The water quality of this stretch of river Chenab from location Jai Patan (Jio Pota) to Pargwal at Akhnoor has become polluted due to the following reasons :-

 Disposal of untreated Sewage Waste into River Chenab.  Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste.  Un-authorised dumping of Construction and Demolition Wastes.  Pollution from minor/major establishments

5. b) Action Plan Proposed:- Action proposed for mitigation of pollution load on this polluted stretch of River Chenab from location Jai Patan (Jio Pota) to Pargwal at Akhnoor to make it fit for bathing purpose involves the following for implementation in a time frame by responsible implementation agencies :-

(i) Disposal of untreated Sewage Waste into River Chenab.

Akhnoor is one of the important Tehsils of Jammu district located on Jammu-Poonch, National highway. Sewage from Akhnoor town and nearby localities through sewage drains is one of the main causes of pollution in river Chenab. State Pollution Control Board is conducting regular monitoring on this river at five sanctioned locations. The identified polluted stretch on this river is downstream to NWMP sanctioned location below Akhnoor bridge. There are 3 main sewage drains viz (a) Jio Pota mandir mohalla, (b) Kameshwar mandir mohalla, (c) Sumah Sungal Mohalla drains, discharging un-treated sewage with common sewage physico-chemical characteristics, directly into River Chenab near Jio Pota Mandir and other downstream locations. As there is no Sewage Treatment Plant for the sewage generated from this town, the action plan proposed include:-

S.No. Action Points Responsible agencies and time frame for implementation. 1. Establishment of Common Director Local Bodies / Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP) Municipal Committee with capacity of 3.0 MLD Akhnoor. connecting sewage from all the Time frame:- Within twelve three drains has been proposed to eighteen months . by UEED Jammu as per sewage load of Akhnoor town.

(ii) Unabated disposal of Municipal Solid Waste.

At present, there is no proper treatment facility for the Municipal Solid Waste being generated from households and other activities to the tune of 9 MT/day in the town. The MSW generated from Akhnoor town and nearby localities is being dumped in open along the bank of river Chenab and most of the times it is burnt at the site. As a result, it is also contributing to the pollution in river Chenab. The action points proposed are as:-

Responsible agencies and time S.No. Action Points frame for implementation.

1. Establishment of identified Director Local Bodies / Municipal MSW dumping site and Committee, Akhnoor to dispose the scientific disposal of MSW scientifically, at identified municipal solid waste as per dumping site.

(B) Revised Proposed Action Plan for river stretches of Kashmir Region:-

Based on the data submitted to CPCB during period 2016-2017 under National Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NWMP), the CPCB has identified four (04) polluted stretches on different rivers in Kashmir. These rivers are classified by the CPCB in three priority categories (Priority III to V) based on the pollution load. The polluted river stretches identified in Kashmir valley are given as under:-

Approx S. Name of length of the Priority / Polluted Stretch No River stretch (Km) Category

Maulana Azad bridge to 1 Chunt Kol 5 III Kanikadal

Gawkadal bridge to 2 Gawkadal 2 IV Nowhata

Chattabal Weir to 3 Jhelum 40 V Anantnag

4 Sindh Duderhama 3.7 V

Map of Kashmir Region showing Rivers under reference.

1) River Chunt Kol (Revised Action Plan) :- Stretch identified: Maulana Azad bridge to Kanakadal (5.0 Km), Priority – III. Chunt Kol is a prominent tributary of River Jhelum having an approximate length of 5.0 Km, that flows through several parts of Srinagar city. It is used as a navigation canal and helps to regulate water level of Dal lake through Dal lock near Dalgate. The rivulet enters river Jhelum at zero bridge and flows through Bishember Nagar, Barbar Shah and Gowkadal area and finally meets river Jhelum at Basant Bagh Srinagar. However, there is neither any industrial estate nor industrial unit in the river catchment area of this identified polluted stretch. Besides this, the waste water generated from the hotels (10 no. app.) located adjacent to the river Chunt Kol discharge the sewage into drains connected to pump stations which discharge the untreated sewage into Chunt kol, the identified polluted stretch.

Sewage discharging pump stations along polluted stretches on Chunt Kol from Maulana Azad bridge to Kanikadal.

Houseboats within Chunt Kol

1. a) Causes of deterioration:- i) The discharge of untreated sewage into the river adversely affects the river water quality by lowering the dissolved oxygen of river water and increasing organic load. Depleting oxygen in river water tends to create septic condition in river effecting flora and fauna of the river. ii) There are dumps of solid waste and garbage in many places throughout the river stretch.

Solid waste disposal at Barber Shah into Chunt Kol

iii) People residing on the bank of the river have erected many lavatories which discharge human waste directly or indirectly into the river.

Lavatories within Chunt Kol near SP College Bund. iv) There are approximately 40 (Forty) houseboats whose entire waste goes directly into the river unabated. v) Besides this, another very serious source of pollution in Chunt Kol is the mechanical dewatering pumps managed and operated by Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) and Urban Environment Engineering Deptt. (UEED) , which discharge sewage into river directly without any kind of treatment. There are 7 (seven) such dewatering stations situated on the bank of Chunt Kol which after collection of waste water / sewage from various corners of Srinagar city having general sewage physico-chemical characteristics, discharge it directly into the river.

1. b) Action Plan proposed for mitigating the pollution problem:-

Water quality of Chunt Kol can be restored by ensuring proper disposal of solid waste and preventing discharge of untreated sewage / sludge of waste water directly / indirectly into the river. It is imperative to take prompt action by the following departments.

S. Responsible Agency &Time Action Points No Frame for implementation 1. Setting up of Sewage Treatment Srinagar Municipal Plants (STPs) of latest Technology, of Corporation within one year requisite capacity as per requirement to eighteen months on of each concern. sanction of the project. On the basis of present discharge and futuristic anticipated load of sewage from the dewatering pump stations, from local habitations including minor establishments, total waste water disposal into Chunt Kol, an STP of 2 MLD capacity of each of the seven dewatering stations (total 14 MLD treatment capacity) is to be established and operated.

For treatment of sewage generated from house boats, LAWDA has taken lead by floating tenders for installation of Bio Digester in the house boats vide the letter No. LDA/SE/1624-25 dt. 11-12-2018. Time frame:- Within six to twelve months.

2) River Jhelum (Revised Action Plan) :-

Stretch identified = a) Gawkadal bridge to Nowhatta (2.0 Km), Priority – IV. b) Chattabal Weir to Anantnag (40 Km), Priority – V. River Jehlum is one of the major rivers of Kashmir, the river originates

from spring known as Verinag situated at the foot hills of the Pir Panjal ranges in the south - eastern part of Kashmir. Jhelum runs a total course of 724 Kms, out of this 241 Kms are within Kashmir valley and rest in Pakistan. All streams and tributaries find their way into Jhelum. The river bifurcates the Srinagar city into two parts and passes through the city. a) The identified polluted stretch Gawkadal up to Nowhatta (2.0 Km) is part of river Jhelum and it is polluted mainly due to discharge of untreated sewage, as it is within Srinagar city. It is also connected to

Chunt Kol, which originates from Dal Lake. There are many commercial areas and activities around this stretch of Jhelum having heavy influx and pollution load from residential areas. There are two sewage discharging pumps installed along this 2 km polluted stretch and for the treatment of the sewage STP of 3.5 MLD capacity is proposed to be installed. b) There is another identified polluted stretch on River Jhelum from Chattabal Weir to Anantnag which is about 40 Km length, categorised under priority-V. This stretch receives untreated sewage from Anantnag town to Srinagar city after passing through Pulwama, Bijbehara, Pampore and Awantipora areas, which is the ultimate cause of pollution of this stretch, with 12 sewage discharging pumps along the stretch under reference. Further, there are about 85 hotels with installed STPs of requisite capacities, discharging the treated sewage into river Jehlum along the polluted stretches identified from location Chattabal Weir to Anantnag of river Jehlum.

Besides this, UEED Kashmir has installed a common STP of 4.0 MLD capacity (in first phase) for the sewage waste generated from Anantnag town and a Septage Treatment Plant with the capacity of 62 KLD for the Septage treatment of the area outside of Anantnag town has also been commissioned. The action points proposed to mitigate the pollution load in this stretch are:-

River Jhelum at Srinagar

Polluted Stretch on River Jhelum from Chattabal Weir to Anantnag 50

2. i) Causes of pollution load for deterioration:- a) The main cause of pollution of river Jhelum is the discharge of untreated sewage at numerous points almost throughout the stretch. The sewage is pumped into this water body by the dewatering pump stations managed by S.M.C, U.E.E.D and different Municipal Committees.

Discharge of Sewage

Dewatering pump station Rajbagh discharging sewage and storm water into Jhelum River.

Discharge of untreated sewage through drains at Anantnag into River Jhelum

Discharge of untreated sewage through drains at Pampore into River Jhelum.

Discharge of untreated sewage through drains at Bijebbhara into River Jhelum

Discharge of untreated sewage through drains near Chunt Kol Mohalla Srinagar into Jhelum River. b) Solid waste dumps are often observed along the banks of River Jhelum. Leaching from these dumps leads to contamination of water body besides being dumped near the shore, this waste often flows in Jhelum thereby further deteriorating the water quality.

Dumping of Solid waste on the Bank of river Jhelum.

Dumping of Solid waste on the Bank of river Jhelum at Pampore. c) Many lavatories are also located along the fringe of river and the human excreta from these lavatories directly discharged into the water body. This problem is severe in the down town area of Srinagar city as both the banks of River Jhelum in this area are densely populated.

Lavatories along the bank of river Jhelum. 54

Lavatories on banks of Jhelum river.

d) Right from Anantnag to Chattabal Weir, there are many open drains carrying untreated waste which is discharged into Jhelum. Similarly, numerous small drains and conduit pipes origin from these residential houses and drain directly into Jhelum.

2. ii) Action Plan proposed for mitigating the pollution load:-

S. Responsible Agency &Time Action Points No. Frame for implementation 1. The main source of pollution of Chief Engineer Urban river Jhelum is the mechanical Environmental Engineering, dewatering pumps managed by Srinagar Municipal SMC and UEED, which let their Corporation and Director discharge into river Jhelum Local Bodies are the without any treatment. There are responsible agencies to install various number of dewatering the CSTP of latest technology stations particularly in Srinagar of 3.5 MLD capacity within six city situated on the bank of river, months to eighteen months, which after collection of waste keeping in view the stretch water from various corners of involved. Srinagar city, discharge it directly into river Jhelum. For this 2 km polluted stretch, from Gawakadal bridge to Nowhatta, UEED has to install a CSTP of 3.5 MLD capacity for treatment of sewage before being discharged into the river.

2. Intercept all the sewer drains of various towns so that no Chief Engineer Urban untreated sewage is discharged Environmental Engineering into the river. Also STP of requires Srinagar and Director Local capacity should be installed for Bodies Kashmir through:- the treatment of total sewage generation., taking into consideration the future growth .On the basis of present population of various towns situated on the bank of river Jhelum the STPs of following capacities need to be installed in each town:-

3) River Sindh (Revised Action Plan) :- Stretch identified:- Duderhama alongside (3.7 Km), Priority – V. The river Sindh is an important river of Kashmir which passes through different regions including Ganderbal district. The river is also one of sources of drinking water for the Srinagar city, as it’s water is supplied from Rangil water treatment plant, Ganderbal by PHE department to the city.

The polluted stretch identified for the treatment is at Duderhama along Ganderbal, which is about 3.7 Km and categorised under Priority –V. This stretch is adjoining to the Industrial Estate Duderhama, Ganderbal under the administrative control of SICOP (Dept. of Industries and Commerce) having about 65 small scale units mainly of cottage, food and

Polluted Stretch on River Sindh at Duderhama, Ganderbal wood based activities falling under green and orange categories only and there is no red category unit in Duderhama. Further, there is almost zero discharge of liquid waste from this industrial estate in to the River.

However, the effluent generated from the town find its way in the form of a small stream, running along the road side which eventually drains into river Sindh without any treatment.

3. a) Cause of deterioration :-

i) Untreated Sewage:-The River Sindh receives the untreated sewage and other liquid wastes i.e sullage from Ganderbal town. ii) Unauthorised dumping of Municipal Solid Waste:-There are some dumps of solid waste and garbage at many places along the bank of River. Mostly, the dumped solid waste is being burnt in open at respective site.
