Petition in NGT to ensure five rivers are pollution-free
Bathinda: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Monday registered a petition praying for the rejuvenation of five key rivers of the region, to ensure they are pollution-free. The prayer concerns the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej, passing through Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, which are the lifelines of these states. Noida-based environmentalist Abhisht Kusum Gupta, who represents an NGO ' has made the Union Jal Shakti Ministry, the states of Punjab, HP, J&K through chief secretaries, the Central Pollution Control Board, the Punjab Pollution Control Board, and the Pollution Control Boards of HP and J&K, as well as deputy commissioners from 25 districts, including 10 DCs from Punjab such as Ferozepur, respondents. The rivers pass through these districts, and district administrations have failed to stop sludge and solid waste from being thrown into these rivers. The rivers have a deep connection with (undivided) Punjab, from which the state derived its name as Punj Aab (land of five rivers, as Aab is a water body in local parlance). Before partition, Punjab had five rivers, but now there is a lot of hue and cry over pollution in the Sutlej. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Read More Undo The petitioner has demanded that the respondents ensure the installation and proper functioning of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) in the districts adjoining the five sister rivers. Gupta said, "There is ongoing and systematic destruction of the five principal rivers of Punjab—Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—which collectively constitute the lifeline of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The rivers' floodplains not only support agriculture, biodiversity, and groundwater recharge but also hold immense cultural, historical, and religious significance. In recent years, this delicate riverine ecosystem has faced severe degradation due to unregulated industrial discharge, large-scale sand mining, encroachment, and unsustainable development along riverbanks. The unchecked exploitation of the floodplain areas violates the principles of the 'Public Trust Doctrine,' which holds that natural resources such as rivers are held by the state in trust for the benefit of the people." He said that the condition of the Five Sister Rivers has reached a point where the residents of the villages surrounding the rivers are actively suffering from life-threatening conditions that are wholly attributable to the water flowing in the rivers. Additionally, the agricultural produce irrigated with the water from the Five Sister Rivers is being consumed by people across India, as both states are considered the food basket of India. Going by this, he has approached the NGT, and the matter is expected to be taken up later this week.

‘Palash' programme boosts tribal education in state
1 2 Ranchi: The Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC), in collaboration with the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (Unicef) and the Language Learning Foundation, is implementing the Palash programme across 1,041 schools in eight districts of the state. The initiative provides primary education for classes I to V in tribal languages and mother tongues in alignment with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF). The approach ensures that children receive instruction in a language they understand from the earliest stages of schooling, thereby strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy skills. Under the programme, 1,064 teachers, block resource persons (BRPs), and cluster resource persons (CRPs) were trained to deliver lessons in five tribal languages — Santhali, Mundari, Kurukh, Kharia, and Ho. Specially designed multilingual textbooks and workbooks were distributed to participating schools to make learning more accessible and culturally relevant. Currently, Palash is benefiting around 35,400 children in the districts of Simdega, Gumla, Khunti, Lohardaga, Latehar, Dumka, Sahibganj and West Singhbhum. Since its inception in 2022 with 259 schools across seven districts, the programme has expanded significantly, reaching more learners each year. JEPC state project director Shashi Ranjan said, "Plans are underway to include five more districts in the coming years and to increase the number of participating schools, thereby broadening the impact of mother-tongue-based education for the state's tribal communities." Unicef's education specialist, Parul Sharma, said, "Palash is not only improving academic outcomes but also fostering pride in children's linguistic and cultural identity. Learning in one's mother tongue builds confidence and creates a strong foundation." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Residents raise alarm over dust and danger as PVVNL leaves roads dug up for months
Noida: Incomplete repair work by Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) has raised concerns among residents across Noida, with many complaining of rising pollution levels and daily commuter hazards. The issue stems from repeated road diggings undertaken by the power department for underground cable laying and fault repairs, which are allegedly left unpatched for months at a stretch. Residents of Sectors 58, 59, 60, and several others say the problem is no longer limited to inconvenience, it has become a health and safety hazard. Monsoon rains have worsened the condition of the dug-up roads, many of which now lie waterlogged or crumbling. "For over a year now, PVVNL has been digging up roads in the name of repairs or underground cabling, and once the work is done, no one returns to fix the roads," said Amit Gupta, a resident of Sector 77, who has taken the matter to the Gautam Buddh Nagar district magistrate. Gupta submitted GPS-tagged photographs highlighting the condition of key stretches in his formal complaint.

The area was made dust-free with great effort, and now it's back to square one," Gupta added. Sunil Kumar from Sector 76 echoed the concerns. "The dust pollution becomes unbearable during summers and winters. It's not just about discomfort; it's affecting our health." While acknowledging the need for infrastructure upgrades, Gupta questioned the outdated methods being used for implementation. "In Srinagar, I saw an efficient model, three conduits laid under footpaths with access chambers at regular intervals. If a repair is needed, they simply open the chamber. No road cutting is required. Why can't Noida adopt such a system?" Currently, road repair work is typically scheduled before and after the monsoon, but residents argue that the lack of coordination between utility departments and the Noida Authority leads to prolonged delays and worsened road conditions. An official response from the Authority remains pending. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
