Gururgam's Sec 29 pubs running on diesel gensets under HSPCB scanner
Several high-profile pubs, restaurants, and clubs in Sector 29 are operating illegally, violating a host of environmental and civic norms, despite official action from authorities. The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has found multiple outlets functioning without the mandatory Consent to Operate (CTO), and many are still running on banned diesel generators despite having their electricity disconnected. According to officials, over a dozen restaurants, and pubs are in violation of the environmental norms. They added that these violations have caused them to seal six of these establishments. 'Diesel gensets are a serious pollutant, and only CNG-based backup is allowed in non-attainment cities like Gurugram. These outlets are openly flouting rules,' said an HSPCB official, requesting anonymity. Under the National Clean Air Programme, diesel gensets are barred in such zones due to their impact on air quality, officials added. Adding to the violations, several establishments are operating without occupation certificates (OC) issued by the pollution board and lack sewage treatment plants (STPs)—or have only claimed to install them on paper. According to HSPCB officials, solid and liquid waste from kitchens is being dumped in open areas including green belts, parking lots, and even stormwater drains adjacent to Leisure Valley, leading to sanitation hazards and clogged sewer say many of these establishments have been operating without an OC for at least two months. HSPCB regional officer Akansha Tanwar said the department had issued multiple notices and sealed kitchens. 'We have disconnected power in certain outlets and are planning surprise inspections. Anyone found operating illegally will face strict action under the Environmental Protection Act,' she said. 'Sector 29 has become a cesspool of unchecked dumping. You can smell the decay from the main road,' said Rajeev Yadav, a Supreme Court advocate and environmental activist. 'The administration has failed miserably. Expect boats, not cars, to enter the market once the monsoon arrives,' he added. Environmental activist Vaishali Rana echoed similar concerns. 'No pub can get CTO without an OC and an STP—yet they're all running with impunity. What example are we setting for the rest of the city?' she asked. However, pub managers claimed they were pushed into a corner. 'The electricity disconnection has crippled us. We are operating on gensets because we've had zero business for weeks,' said one manager, requesting anonymity. Another added, 'This is peak season. Give us a window to comply instead of abruptly cutting power.' Local RWAs and councillors are now demanding coordinated action. 'You can't have a lawless hospitality zone in the middle of the city,' said Anoop Singh, MCG councillor from Ward 25. 'This is a public health issue.'

ETP at GMCH ready, UT health dept seeks consent to operate
1 2 3 Chandigarh: The UT health department has sought consent to operate (COP) from the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) for the newly built effluent treatment plant (ETP) at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH-16). The CPCC's technical team will conduct a thorough inspection and technical evaluation of the newly constructed facility. "The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) will evaluate and verify all technical specifications and parameters established by the central government for the project. During the pre-certification inspection for the Consent to Operate, the CPCC will thoroughly examine the effluent treatment measures implemented. The certification will be granted only if the project's planning and construction meet all prescribed parameters and specifications," officials said. The CPCC technical team must evaluate every aspect while granting operational consent to prevent future complications. The performance monitoring will be a significant consideration after the facility becomes operational. "During the consent approval process, alongside document verification and written assessments, conducting a thorough physical inspection of the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) remains essential. This comprehensive evaluation forms a critical component before granting the Consent to Operate for the project," officials revealed. The ETP project, costing approximately Rs 6 crore, was strategically positioned away from the hospital's main structures to ensure efficient operation and management. "Though the paperwork for the project started in 2023, the construction work took approximately a year. The capacity of this ETP is 500 kilolitres per day. This project was planned for a minimum of 20 to 25 years with an option to expand as per the requirement," an official of the UT said.
