Focus on setting up small projects of waste management: Khattar

"The Manohar Lal-led State Government always ensures meticulous implementation of all the orders issued by the NGT. An example of this is that Haryana has drafted a Policy for Treated Waste Water. Besides this the State has also done commendable work in the management of solid and liquid waste, "said, Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, while speaking at the seminar on New Technologies for Liquid and Solid Waste Management organized in Faridabad.

During this, Haryana, Chief Minister, Manohar Lal along with Union Minister of State for Power and Heavy Industries, Sh. Krishan Pal, Transport Minister Sh. Mool Chand also remained present.

Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said that the Management of solid and liquid waste is very important as this issue goes unnoticed then everyone has to face the ill effects of this.

He said that Haryana has taken significant decisions regarding the issue of pollution in Yamuna. The dumping of industrial waste from Sonipat and Panipat has been banned in Yamuna and STPs have been set up there.

While praising Manohar Lal, Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said that he has asked Haryana not to release treated water into rivers and while strictly adhering to these directions, the State Government not only stopped the release of the treated water but also chalked out strategies for its reuse.

He said that like Haryana, others states should also take accountability at their own levels to resolve the problem of waste management.

Now focus is on setting up small projects of waste management and water treatment plants, Sh. Manohar Lal

Chief Minister said that work should be done on setting up small projects for solid waste management and water treatment and in view of this, seminars based on new technologies have been organised.

He said that apart from setting up big projects, setting up small ones in any colony, locality and society etc has also become the need of the hour.

"Today this topic has been discussed in detail and I am hopeful that today's seminar will prove to be very beneficial for all the stakeholders. The positive results of such discussions would be seen when the suggestions discussed in this seminar would become a ground reality," added Sh. Manohar Lal.
