Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh/Ludhiana, January 2-
Local Bodies minister Dr Ravjot Singh along with Rajya Sabha MP Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal inspected the
ongoing works to establish the temporary pumping station near Gaushala point of 'Buddha Dariya' on
Thursday.
The temporary pumping station is being established under the 'Kar Sewa' initiated by MP Seechewal to clean 'Buddha Dariya'. The aim is to pump the sewerage waste from Gaushala point to STP Jamalpur until a permanent Intermediate pumping station (IPS) is established at the Gaushala site.
The project to establish the Gaushala IPS is pending due to an ongoing court case. During the visit cabinet
minister Dr Ravjot Singh also deliberated upon the steps which can be taken to speed up the process.
Further, cabinet minister Dr Ravjot Singh issued necessary directions to the officials of Punjab Pollution
Control Board (PPCB) and the civic body to take steps to ensure that cow dung and industrial waste is not
dumped in the 'Buddha Dariya'. Dr Singh also directed the concerned officials to expedite the work of
establishing biogas plants in Haibowal and Tajpur road dairy complexes.
