MCC Mayor warns action against those who violate STP rules

Published On : 08 May 2017   |  Reported By : Canaranews Network


Mangaluru: Mangaluru City Corporation Mayor Kavitha Sanil said the civic authorities will file criminal cases against industries and multistoreyed buildings that fail to make provisions for sewage treatment plants (STPs) during the construction stage.

Speaking to media on on Sunday, she shared details on the resolutions passed during a meeting held at Bengaluru by the mayors of city corporations in connection with environment pollution. The meeting decided to make it compulsory for all multi-storeyed buildings including industries to have STPs. She said that 482 industries in Bengaluru have been served notices while criminal cases were filed against 92 industries.

The MCC is mulling over making STP mandatory. She said the state government, in its notification in 2016, mandates that all industry or multi-storeyed buildings should have a STP. The direction of the state government is yet to be implemented effectively in the jurisdiction of the MCC.

The mayor said that the water-level in Thumbe vented dam, that supplies water to Mangaluru, has stood at 4.9 metre. With the rainfall in the last few days, the inflow of water to the dam has increased in spite of the civic authorities supplying water daily to its citizens.
