No clearance, ₹2.3cr waste plant in Gangotri ordered shut
Uttarkashi: Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board (UPCB) has shut the state-of-the-art waste disposal plant built at a cost of Rs 2.3 crore near Gangotri dham, as it did not have all the required clearances to operate in an eco-sensitive zone. Moreover, there was no record of how much garbage was brought in and how much was treated every day. People in the area also complained that the plant was polluting the area rather than treating waste. District tourism development officer KK Joshi on Friday confirmed that the plant's operation has been stopped until further orders. Ahead of the 2023 Char Dham yatra season, the garbage disposal plant was set up in Akhrot Khadar of Gangotri at a cost of about Rs 2.3 crore under the Central govt's Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Enhancement Campaign Scheme. Since it was located in Bhagirathi eco-sensitive zone, it could not be started for one-and-a-half years as UPCB did not issue a no objection certificate (NOC). Later in 2024, during a meeting of the Bhagirathi eco-sensitive zone monitoring committee, the plant was transferred to Gangotri nagar panchayat following which the plant started operation. However, in June this year, the issue that the plant was illegally operating in the eco-sensitive zone without necessary clearance from UPCB was again raised, and a complaint reached the Central govt as well as the state headquarters of state pollution board. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 60년 묵은 혈관 찌꺼기 ,,, '이것." 하나면 다른건 하지 않아도 됩니다! 면역력 Rg3의 비결 더 알아보기 Undo On June 24, a team of central and state pollution control boards inspected the plant and found that the tourism department did not obtain "integrated consent" and authorisation regarding water and air pollution control for operating the plant.
