Date:8 October 2013

Unable to check Haryana’s industrial units from releasing their toxic waste into the Saraswati drain in Punjab, the PPCB (Punjab Pollution Control Board) has decided to strongly take up the matter with the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board). On July 05 2012, the pollution board wrote to its Haryana counterpart on the matter, but failed to get any response. It pointed out that wastewater from Ambala units were polluting the Ghaggar. The PPCB officials say that wastewater of paper and cardboard mills in Kaithal and Pehowa finds its way into the Ghaggar through the Saraswati drain.
