10. From the above report, which is not under challenge, it is seen that power supply is still awaited for water supply to 23 affected villages, out of 133 drains meeting the river, 113 drains still remained untapped and there is also no interim measure taken to treat the pollution. The compensation assessed is not being recovered. The recovered amount is not being spent for restoration. Untenable plea of shortage of funds or lack of approvals of the higher authorities is being taken, which could be sorted out by the Chief Secretary in terms of earlier directions of this Tribunal. Such unsatisfactory state of affairs is expected to be remedied on war footing in the interest of health of the citizens.
11. The status of compliance as per report filed on behalf of the State is as follows:-

7. That it is submitted that Chief Secretary, Government of UP has also reviewed Bio-remediation work of drains situated in the catchment of River Hindon. In Saharanpur, Bioremediation/phyto-remediation is being done on 02 drains over a total stretch 76 km. In Muzaffarnagar & Shamli bioremediation of drains has not been initiated. In compliance of the earlier order Environmental Compensation of Rs. 5.0 Lakh per drain/month on 29 drains situated in the catchment of Hindon River has been imposed vide letter vide letter no G 32922/C-4/RRC-II/2020 dated-16.06.2020 from July, 2020 onwards.

Environmental Compensation is to be recovered following the procedure for recovery of arrears of land revenue by way of attachment of properties. The Chief Secretary, Government of UP reviewed the progress of recovery of Environmental Compensation and has directed Member Secretary, Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board to speed up recovery of Environmental Compensation by way of attachment of properties of the concerned industries/agencies with the help of concerned District Magistrates."

12. It is disappointing to note that even after almost seven years of pendency of the matter in this Tribunal and repeated specific directions atleast for the last more than two years, including orders dated 8.8.2018, 21.10.2019 and 28.2.2020, the State has not taken effective steps to control pollution of river Hindon, resulting in continuing damage to the environment and public health. Damage from pollution is no less than the damage from other heinous crimes. It is a matter of regret that the State authorities have failed to discharge their constitutional obligation of taking remedial measures inspite of attention of the highest authorities in the Administration being drawn to the problem. We had expected that with the involvement of the Chief Secretary, the procedural and inter-departmental coordination issues will be resolved. But unfortunately, it has not so happened.

13. In these circumstances, repeated orders will not serve any purpose unless the Administration takes ownership of its Constitutional obligation to the citizens. Thus, instead of keeping the proceedings pending, we consider it appropriate to require the Chief Secretary, UP to ensure remedial action on expeditious basis. The action should also include fixing responsibilities and making 11 entry in the service record of incompetent or failing officers, who were earlier entrusted this responsibility, granting necessary approvals and providing necessary funds. Meaningful steps ought to be taken for recovery of assessed compensation from the polluters, following due process of law.

14..............xxx..................................xxx...................................xxx

15.......xxx...................................xxx............................................xxx The proceedings in the matter will stand closed with the expectation that the State will now take remedial measures to reinforce the environmental rule of law for protection of public health and environment. This would include interception and diversion of 113 untapped drains, the targeted STPs, with treated sewage utilization, being completed, recalcitrant industries, not complying with the norms, to be dealt with as per the Water, Air and EP Acts, maintaining the water quality of Kali Nadi, Krishni and Hindon rivers and ensuring water supply to the affected villages. As already directed, further remedial action may be ensured by the RRC in UP with oversight of the Chief Secretary and further monitoring by the Secretary Jalshakti......."

5. Grievance in the application is that inspite of above categorical direction, the authorities in the State of UP have failed to take any meaningful action and are thus neglecting their Constitutional duty.

6. Considering the matter, vide order dated 25.11.2022, the Tribunal sought a factual report from a joint Committee comprising UPPCB, UP Jal Nigam, MoEF&CC, NMCG and representative of Principal Secretary, Department of Irrigation.

7. In pursuance of above, report dated 27.01.2023 has been filed by the State PCB without involvement of MoEF&CC, Dept. of Irrigation, U.P Jal Nigam and NMCG. The report mentions that 310 grossly polluting industries (GPIs) are discharging their effluent in the river. Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) are inadequate and not meeting the norms resulting in untreated sewage being discharged into the river.

8. Status of compliance by 310 industries has been given as follows:-

The industries operating in the basin are textile, pulp and paper, distilleries, sugar, tanneries and others which are known for 26 extracting ground water/fresh water and do discharge trade effluents. As per consent conditions, many of these industries have to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and cut down their water requirement to reduce dependency on ground water. Further, drains are not meant to carry trade effluents. These aspects have not been explained in the report. There is no mention of compliance with consent conditions, their validity and the variables in environmental compensation imposed. Earlier report dated 28.01.2021 indicated imposition of environment compensation amounting to Rs. 11.32 Crores in 230 industries and recovering 4.14 Crores. However, in report dated 27.01.2023, environmental compensation of Rs. 1.89 Crore has been mentioned. Total GPIs are 453. Thus, only imposition of environmental compensation does not serve the purpose of compliance and protection of environment. The report is thus casual without any plan of action. UPPCB being the regulator should have given the responsible report which has not been done.

10. With regard to sewage discharge in river basin, the position is mentioned as follows: -

Hindon River Basin: Domestic Sewage Generation, Treatment and GAP S. District Sewage Total Total Gap in Under Progress/ No. Discharge in Treatment mld Proposed (mld) MLD capacity available (mld) 1 Saharanpur 137.89 38 99.89 135 2 Muzaffarnagar 111.14 32.50 78.64 64.5 3 Shamli 33.5 0 33.5 DPR under review at NMCG 4 Meerut 10 0 10 DPR submitted (untreated to NMCG, it was discharge in returned on the Hindon) basis of high COD 5 Bagpat 0.1 0 0.1 6 Gaziabad 381.20 510 -
7 GB Nagar 171 219 -
Total 844.63 799.5 222.13 27
11. The above table indicates pathetic situation. Gap of 222.13 MLDs is reported is not correct and acceptable. It is not stated as to how much quantity of sewage is being treated in the STPs set up. It is observed that STPs of capacity of 32.5 MLD at Muzaffarnagar and 56 MLD plant each at trans Hindon and Dudahaida Vijayanagar Ghaziabad are non-compliant.

Thus, entire sewage is entering into river through drain in violation of directions of the Tribunal that no sewage be discharged into storm water drains. Further, no substantive progress has been made after the last order on 2.2.2021 in O.A No. 231/2014 and still there is no affirmative commitment. Review by the Chief Secretary, as per the report, on 02.12.2020 thus does not appear to be effective.

12. It is stated that there is only one CETP in the area.

13. Details of drains in the area which are polluted are as follows: -

As per the report of Oversight Committee dated 28.01.2021, out of 133 drains, 102 drains were un-tapped for which DPRs were either sent or were under 35 preparation. Further, there is no mention of status of results achieved where bio-remediation was commissioned, completion of piped water supply in remaining villages, regulation of ground water, demarcation of flood plain zone (FPZ) and other issues detailed out in Hindon River Action Plan and in context of last order dated 02.02.2021 in O.A No. 231/2014.
15. The report also mentions that a project has been prepared for water quality monitoring to remedy the situation. Water quality data for the River Hindon for the month of January, 2023 on the website of UPPCB indicates that the water quality falls in the category of 'D' and 'E' with high BOD of 10-60 mg/l which is unsatisfactory state of affairs.
16. From the above, it is patent that there is rampant unregulated industrial and sewage pollution and neglect by the authorities in the State of UP. No meaningful action is being taken errant industries and local bodies. Neither prosecution nor erring industries have been closed nor adequate compensation to meet the cost of restoration with deterrent element considering financial capacity of the industries has been assessed and recovered. Liability of the State for discharging untreated sewage has also not been fixed. There is thus patent violation of judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court inter alia in Paryavaran Suraksha (2017) 5 SCC 326 and directions of this Tribunal inter alia in O.A. No. 593/2017, OA 673/2018 and O.A. No. 606/2018. Thus, though the report is incomplete in all respects, it shows large scale non compliances.
17. Accordingly, there is need for remedial action in the interest of rule of law and protection of environment. Responsibility for violation of directions of Hon'ble Supreme Court and this Tribunal and for damage to the environment needs to be fixed.

Before passing any further coercive order for past violations, we direct a joint Committee headed by Chief Secretary, Uttar Pradesh with the involvement of MoEF&CC, NMCG, CPCB, State PCB, concerned District Magistrates and concerned Commissioners/Superintendents of Police, Additional Chief Secretary, Environment and ACS/Principal Secretary, Urban Development Department, State Irrigation and Flood Control, Uttar Pradesh to take remedial action for control of pollution of Hindon without further delay and also to deploy field monitoring teams to assess the real ground situation.
19. Environment and ACS/Principal Secretary, Urban Development Department, Uttar Pradesh will be the joint nodal agencies for coordination and compliance. The proceedings of the committee need not to wait for further nomination. MoEF&CC, DG, NMCG and Chairman CPCB may ensure nominations to the committee.
20. The Committee may meet within one week and will be free to function online or offline, undertake visit to the sites and interact with concerned authorities and stakeholders. Remedial action will involve assessment of compensation against erring industries for past violations equal to 10% turnover but not lower than assessed cost of restoration, closure of units which are continuing to cause pollution, prosecution of the owners of the industries under the provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, following due process of law. The State itself is liable to pay compensation for discharge of untreated sewage @ ₹Two Crore per MLD on the pattern of order of this Tribunal dated 03.08.2022 in O.A No. 1002/2018, Abhisht Kusum Gupta v. State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors. and in recent orders passed in respect of 28 States/UTs in O.A. 606/2018.
