CPCB has been trying to get a grip on the fight be- tween Haryana and Delhi on contaminated water flowing through this canal. Two of the Capital’s water treatment plants have had to close down on several times in the past few months, hitting supply to two-fifths of the city. Each time, the water was found to be laced with ammonia and toxic industrial waste. According to CPCB, indus- tries in Yamuna Nagar were largely responsible for the degradation of water quality. Several directions were is- sued to stop the menace. When nothing moved, CPCB once again inspected the pol- lution sources at Yamuna Na- gar and found four culprits: Haryana Distillery, Saraswati Sugar Mill, Bal- larpur Paper Mill and Bharat Starch Industries. Four days ago it sent spe- cific directions to these forms. They are supposed to report back to CPCB within 15 days. Delhi’s Jal Board has had a continuing problem over the past few months. I has been forced to shut water treat- ment plants in west Delhi’s Haiderpur and Nangloi on numerous occasions. In mid-February, CPCB di- rected the Haryana State Pol- lution Control Board to en- sure industries did not dis- charge any effluent into the canal during the non-mon- soon months. On February 21, CPCB asked the state board and irrigation depart- ment to act against polluting industries. On April 3, a CPCB team found raw water was still being polluted.
