Supreme Court On Another Major Issue In Rajasthan
In another major issue in the state, the Supreme Court on Monday slammed the Rajasthan authorities for their failure to control pollution in the Jojari River, saying the suffering that has been caused to two million people was "unbelievable". A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta was hearing a suo motu case concerning contamination of the Jojari River water.
"The harsh reality that is going on at the spot is alarming," the bench said, adding, "The suffering which has been caused to the people is unbelievable." It observed that the common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) were bypassed and effluent was directly discharged into the river.
